Intervention Research to Inform the New Rapidly Unfolding Ontario Tobacco Strategy: Policy Window for a Population Health Model of Tobacco Retail Sales
FY 2009-10
Summary
Tobacco products are addictive and cause serious health problems, including lung cancer. Yet in Canada and other places they are sold in convenient locations, such as corner stores. This proposal looks at ways to reduce the number of places where tobacco is sold to help young people never to start smoking and smokers to quit. The new Ontario tobacco strategy provides a window of opportunity to consider options like licensing for tobacco vendors or zoning plans to reduce sales outlets. Decreased availability of tobacco products in the retail environment is an important aspect of tobacco control, which several jurisdictions are starting to address.

Abstract
Tobacco products are addictive and cause serious health problems, including lung cancer. Yet in Canada and other places they are sold in convenient locations, such as corner stores. This proposal looks at ways to reduce the number of places where tobacco is sold to help young people never to start smoking and smokers to quit. The new Ontario tobacco strategy provides a window of opportunity to consider options like licensing for tobacco vendors or zoning plans to reduce sales outlets. Decreased availability of tobacco products in the retail environment is an important aspect of tobacco control, which several jurisdictions are starting to address.
