Effect of tobacco sales bans on retail sales in Beverly Hills and Manhattan Beach, California, USA: a synthetic difference-in-differences analysis
The tobacco sales bans in Beverly Hills and Manhattan Beach nearly eliminated local tobacco sales in the included stores, without prompting substantial cross-border shopping. Stability of non-tobacco product sales for included stores suggests these policies did not adversely affect local retail economies. These results suggest the viability of tobacco sales bans as an effective tobacco control strategy.
