The impact of local cigar pack regulations on cigar retail sales
Local minimum cigar pack policies were associated with reduced cigar sales overall and across cigar flavor types. The study highlights the importance of regulations that address the price and packaging of cigars. The findings contribute to the growing body of evidence supporting the impact of local cigar policies on reducing cigar use and suggest their potential for successful adoption in other localities, which could improve public health outcomes.
