Tobacco Compliance Report
Studies have documented that even among US adolescent tobacco users who only used a single tobacco product on 1-2 days during the previous month, many reported symptoms of tobacco dependence, including strong cravings (14%), irritability and restlessness when not using tobacco (11%), strong desire to use the product (6%), and wanting to use the tobacco product within 30 minutes of awakening (1%. Preventing youths from beginning use of any tobacco product is important to tobacco use prevention and control strategies in the United States. The effects of early initiation also might hold true for users of other tobacco products, given that exposure to nicotine is the main cause of tobacco product dependence. This report highlights the importance

Some teens develop addictions even more quickly, and they experience cravings for nicotine quite soon after initiating cigarette use. Teens can also become addicted to the process of smoking, finding it difficult to even think about going through the day without the ability to unwrap a pack of cigarettes, flick open a lighter or hear the paper of the cigarette crackle with…

    Tobacco has been a cash crop in America since the first colonists settled here. In fact, many historians have said America would not exist as we know it without the original routes of tobacco here. While there are significant health risks with tobacco, it is an essential part of the American economy. In 2011, the huge sum of 17,653,708,000 dollars were collected in revenue from taxation on cigarettes (Tobacco Tax Revenue). Apart from this immediate benefit of the taxes, it also dissuades people, particularly youth, to smoke. “Every 10 percent increase in the price of cigarettes reduces consumption by about 4 percent among adults and about 7 percent among youth”…

    CVS has recently decided to eliminate cigarettes from their vast options of items to purchase at all of their locations. Surprising at first you might ask yourself, why would a company willingly give up on over two billion dollars of profit annually? The primary answer being conveyed by CVS executives is that “Tobacco products have no place in a setting where health care is delivered.” This company is making a bold statement that money does not affect the way we feel about our customers. Scott Mushkin, an analyst with Wolfe Research in New York stated that “ CVS has aligned its business to the pharmacy, Tobacco is an ancillary business, and it’s not the reason why most people go to CVS.”…

    Place strategies in the tobacco quit campaign are intended to either make tobacco products less available to the general population or make help more accessible to those trying to quit. This strategy includes several tactics intended to focus into different populations: first we have active smokers wanting to quit, for those help needs to be easily accessible; second we have nonsmokers whose need to be protected from secondhand smoke; third we have the underage kids who not only need to be protected from the harmful events of tobacco but also need to understand that using tobacco products is not cool; the last group is composed by active smokers not intending to quit but that need to understand that their actions have effects in others.…

    According to Windle (2003) smoking and alcohol use among college students is associated with a broad array risk behaviors, including tobacco use and drinking and driving. In addition, studies on college campuses have shown that students who do not smoke and drink nevertheless experience adverse secondhand effects of smoking and drinking, including victimization (e.g. verbal or physical threats and actions) and personal intrusion (e.g., disruption of sleep or study habits) by those who have been smoking and drinking (Wechsler et al 1998). Another disturbing trend in youth smoking and drinking is the initiation of cigarette and alcohol use at younger ages. Between 1997 and 2006, surveys have shown that the average age of initiation to cigarette and alcohol use decreased by more than 1.5 years, from 17.8 years in 1997 to 15.9 years in 2006 (Office of National drug Control Policy, 2007). In 2007, more than 32 percent of young people reported beginning to smoke and drink before age of 13 (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2007). Earlier initiation of smoking and alcohol use has been associated with increased risk for smoking and alcohol-related problems later in life particularly on health (Grant and Dawson, 2007).…

    Youth smoking continues to be an important public health problem. Many policy tools designed to reduce youth smoking are based on economic principles. This paper describes the economic and policy context of tobacco use aiming at reducing youth smoking and explains the economic rationale for tobacco control tools such as excise tax and price, clean indoor air laws, youth access laws and the broad provision of health information to the public. An overview of economic models of addiction provides the framework for empirical analysis of the impact of these policies. This is followed by a summary of the empirical evidence of the effectiveness of various tobacco control tools that are primarily economic in nature. The most consistent finding in this literature is that higher cigarette prices discourage youth smoking. Compared to the effects of cigarette taxation and price on youth smoking, the evidence on the effectiveness of the youth access laws and clean indoor air laws are still mixed and inconclusive. More research is needed to address issues such as: (1) the effects of gender, age, race and socio-economic status on the relationship between tobacco control policies and youth smoking; (2) better measurement of the outcome variables to account for the multi-dimensional nature of dependence; and (3) the effects of excise taxes and other tobacco control policies with regard to a host of dimensions of smoking such as initiation, cessation, and more generally the trajectories of tobacco use that would include patterns of progression, maintenance, regression, cessation, and relapse. More frequently collected longitudinal data than those currently available are needed to address the above issues. Understanding smoking behavior cannot be achieved without incorporating familial and other social…
