【 摘 要 】

IntroductionRetail marketing for chewing tobacco may be different acrossracial/ethnic neighborhoods, possibly leading to diverging patterns of use anddisparate health risks relating to consumption. This study aimed to compare thefrequencies of available chewing tobacco, available flavored chewing tobacco,price promotions, and exterior advertisements in tobacco retail stores in LosAngeles, California.MethodsIn-person observational audits from tobacco retail stores (n=679) locatedin predominantly non-Hispanic White (n=196), non-Hispanic Black/AfricanAmerican (n=194), Hispanic/Latino (n=189), or Korean American (n=100)neighborhoods were conducted between January 2016 and April 2017.ResultsThere were statistically significant associations (p<0.001) between racial/ethnic neighborhood and chewing tobacco marketing, where retailers locatedin non-Hispanic White neighborhoods sold and advertised chewing tobaccoand flavored chewing tobacco, used price promotions, and displayed exterioradvertisements more frequently than retailers located in African American,Korean American, and Hispanic/Latino neighborhoods.ConclusionsStronger restrictions on chewing tobacco, price promotions andflavored versions could mitigate exposure and access to these products in theretail environment.
