Tobacco retailers’ views on selling tobacco and nicotine products, tobacco control policies and phasing out tobacco sales: a scoping review

This review found that tobacco retailers typically report negative attitudes about TC regulations. However, regulatory measures, voluntary cessation initiatives and retail education that appeals to ethical values can collectively encourage some individual retailers to cease selling tobacco. Although these alone are unlikely to substantially reduce the number of tobacco retailers. These factors may also inform communication strategies concerning regulated phase-outs of tobacco retailing.
