Identifying best practices in adoption, implementation and enforcement of flavoured tobacco product restrictions and bans: lessons from experts

Katherine Peck et al.

Summary: The objective of this study was to identify recommended components for adopting, implementing, and enforcing bans or restrictions on flavored tobacco products. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 17 high-level experts in the USA and Canada who had expertise in flavored tobacco product policies. The major findings were categorized into four areas: program planning and legislative preparations, education and community outreach, implementation and enforcement, and policy impact. Critical elements for pre-implementation included comprehensive policy language, identifying enforcement agents, examining potential economic costs, deploying media campaigns, and engaging community partners and retailers. Recommended implementation processes included a 6-month preparation timeline, focus on retailer education, and clearly outlined enforcement procedures, particularly for concept flavors. The study concludes that sharing best practices can improve the passage, implementation, efficacy, and evaluation of flavored tobacco policies.

Stephen Stanfill et al.

Summary: Nicotine pouch products, a type of oral smokeless product containing nicotine without tobacco leaf material, have recently entered the US market, resulting in increased sales since 2018.
