Monitoring Compliance with the Ban on Tobacco Advertising, Promotion, and Product Display at the Point-of-Sale 10 Months after its Implementation in Dakar, Senegal

Exposure to TAPS at the POS increases impulse buying, normalizes tobacco products and use, and increases likelihood of youth initiation. There is a dearth of implementation literature for tobacco control policies in the WHO African Region. This study provides monitoring and compliance data in Dakar, Senegal 10 months after implementation of a national TAPS ban. This study presents data for policymakers in Senegal and similar low- and middle-income settings on specific areas of a tobacco control law that may require additional enforcement measures for better compliance.
