Self-reported exposure and reactions to cigarette corrective statements at the point-of-sale among US adults who smoke and youth
About 18% of youth and 26% of smoking adults reported corrective statement exposure at POS. While exposure was positively associated with store visitation frequency, exposure was lower than for other tobacco POS messaging, suggesting that visual competition and limited retailer coverage may have constrained reach. Findings can inform future health messaging strategies in retail environments.
