A study conducted by the University of Minnesota found that cigarettes can be purchased on American Indian-owned Internet sites for about one fifth of the price at grocery stores, making this a more convenient, lower-priced, and appealing method of purchasing cigarettes. Researchers and educators are challenged to address this new marketing ploy and to discover ways to curb rising smoking rates in American Indian communities.
明尼苏达大学开展的一项研究发现,在美国印第安人拥有的网站上可以买到香烟,其价格约为杂货店的五分之一,这使得网购香烟成为一种更便捷、价格更低且更具吸引力的购买方式。研究人员和教育工作者面临着应对这一新营销手段并找到遏制美国印第安社区吸烟率上升方法的挑战。
