Global evidence on the effect of point-of-sale display bans on smoking prevalence
Menée à partir des données 2007-2014 de l'"Euromonitor International" et du programme MPOWER de l'Organisation Mondiale de la Santé portant sur 77 pays, cette étude analyse l'effet, sur la prévalence du tabagisme, d'une politique antitabac interdisant les présentoirs de produits tabagiques dans les points de vente
Background : Since Iceland became the first country to impose a ban on point-of-sale (POS) tobacco product displays in 2001, 20 countries have implemented POS display bans as of 2016. This study examined the effect that POS display bans have on smoking prevalence. Methods : Data were sourced from Euromonitor International and the WHO MPOWER package for 2007–2014 from 77 countries worldwide. generalised linear models with country and year fixed effects were estimated to analyse the effect of POS display bans on smoking prevalence. Results : Having a POS display ban reduced overall adult daily smoking, male smoking and female smoking by about 7%, 6% and 9%, respectively.
