New research from the Prevention Research Center of the Pacific Institute for Research and Evaluation, reported that youth exposure to tobacco marketing was associated with use of tobacco and cannabis.
The study titled, “Youth tobacco and cannabis use and co-use: Associations with daily exposure to tobacco marketing within activity spaces and by travel patterns,” examined daily locations of youth, their travel patterns, and their exposure to tobacco retail marketing, with the aim of determining how these affected their tobacco and cannabis use and co-use.
One hundred participants ages ranging from 16 to 20 completed 1,060 daily assessments using GPS-enabled smartphones with a survey application. The compiled responses indicated that perceived exposure to tobacco marketing was associated with co-use of tobacco and cannabis on a given day, and that this association was more common among youth who walked/biked/skated more.
