The Relationship between Combined State and Local Tobacco Retail Licensing Laws and Retailer Density: The Case in California (2012–2021)
This study shows that when combined, strong local and state tobacco licensing laws are significantly associated with lower tobacco retailer density. The findings showed that a moderate local tobacco licensing law (ie a TRL lacking important provisions, such as fines and penalties for selling to minors) may not be sufficient to reduce retailer density.
