Electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes) continue to gain popularity globally. Jurisdictions with comprehensive tobacco control policies, which limit the use and availability of combustible tobacco products but do not regulate e-cigarettes (as in Russia), may be vulnerable to the expansion of the e-cigarette market.
Using McNemar's test conducted in STATA, this observational study assessed changes between 2014 and 2016 in the availability of e-cigarettes across 239 retail outlets in Moscow and St Petersburg. Also, this study characterized the presence of retail advertising and promotion of e-cigarettes in 2016.
Between 2014 and 2016, the availability and display of e-cigarettes increased within traditional tobacco product retail venues (27.6% in 2014 vs 51.9% in 2016; p<0.01).
Observations indicate that there has been an increase in the proportion of retailers selling and displaying e-cigarettes.
电子烟在全球范围内持续受到欢迎。拥有全面烟草控制政策的司法管辖区,这些政策限制了可燃烟草制品的使用和可得性,但未对电子烟进行监管(如俄罗斯),可能容易受到电子烟市场扩张的影响。
本观察性研究使用在STATA中进行的麦克尼马尔检验,评估了2014年至2016年期间莫斯科和圣彼得堡239个零售网点电子烟可得性的变化。此外,本研究还描述了2016年电子烟零售广告和促销的情况。
2014年至2016年期间,传统烟草制品零售场所内电子烟的可得性和展示增加(2014年为27.6%,2016年为51.9%;p<0.01)。
观察结果表明,销售和展示电子烟的零售商比例有所增加。
