The overall aim of this research is to experimentally evaluate different, legally-viable approaches to reducing the impact of the point-of-sale (POS) retail environment on adolescent tobacco use risk. This study will be investigating the regulations for four classes of tobacco products (cigarettes, e-cigarettes, smokeless tobacco, little cigars/cigarillos). Study 1 (study 1 out of 3 proposed) will examine whether eliminating the sale of flavored tobacco products at POS reduced adolescents' tobacco use risk.
Tobacco advertising at retail point-of-sale (POS) includes promotional allowances that permit tobacco products to be advertised and sold at reduced cost to consumers (e.g., two-for-one specials); high visibility sale and therefore placement of hundreds of tobacco products on power walls; and the display of a large, diverse collection of poster advertisements on the exterior of the stores. Adolescents are at significant risk for having repeated exposures to this tobacco rich POS environment and such exposures contribute to increases in adolescent tobacco use. Although curbing the effect of the tobacco rich POS environment on adolescent tobacco use is a critical public health goal, some POS advertising regulations are unlikely to be viable in the United States because they impinge upon the tobacco industry's commercial free speech rights. For example, eliminating the tobacco power wall is probably not a viable option in the US as it has been successfully challenged in court by the tobacco industry. POS regulations that do not violate the industry's commercial free speech rights stand a better chance of being upheld by the courts. For example, eliminating tobacco product price promotions, reducing the availability of tobacco products by restricting the sale of flavored products, and restricting how much door/window space tobacco product posters can occupy at POS, all have been implemented as feasible and legally defensible regulatory options at POS. The evidence base supporting the efficacy of these initiatives is, however, almost non-existent - leaving them open to legal scrutiny. The overall aim of this research is to experimentally evaluate different, legally-viable approaches to reducing the impact of the POS retail environment on adolescent tobacco use risk. This research will be investigating the regulations for four classes of tobacco products (cigarettes, e-cigarettes, smokeless tobacco, little cigars/cigarillos): the extent to which eliminating tobacco product price promotions (Study 2), restricting how much door/window space tobacco posters can occupy at POS (Study 3), and eliminating the sale of flavored and/or mentholated tobacco products (Study 1) reduce adolescent tobacco-use risk. Each study will evaluate for possible gender and race (African-American vs Caucasian) differences. The studies will take place in the RAND StoreLab, a life-sized replica of a convenience store that was developed to experimentally evaluate how altering aspects of tobacco promotion at POS influences tobacco use. The present record is for Study 1.

| Proportion of Participants Susceptible to Smoking Cigarettes After Shopping in the StoreLab (Non-flavored) | Self-report items: "Do you think you will try an unflavored cigarette (unflavored = cigarettes without menthol or mint) anytime soon?", "Do you think you will smoke an unflavored cigarette (unflavored = cigarettes without menthol or mint) anytime in the next year?"; and "If one of your best friends offered you an unflavored cigarette (unflavored = cigarettes without menthol or mint), would you smoke it?". Responses to each item are made on a 1 (Definitely Not) to 10 (Definitely Yes) scale and the three items were summed for a total scale score. The total scale score was dichotomized: those who scored a '3' were recoded as '0' (not susceptible) and any scores greater than '3' were coded as '1' (susceptible). Proportion of susceptible participants was the outcome (number susceptible over the total number of participants within condition). | There is one visit in this research: This variable is assessed at that visit, immediately after the experimental manipulation. |
| Proportion of Participants Susceptible to Smoking Cigarettes After Shopping in the StoreLab (Menthol) | Self-report items: "Do you think you will try a cigarette flavored with menthol or mint anytime soon?", "Do you think you will smoke a cigarette flavored with menthol or mint anytime in the next year?"; and "If one of your best friends offered you a cigarette flavored with menthol or mint, would you smoke it?".

Responses to each item were made on a 1 (Definitely Not) to 10 (Definitely Yes) scale and the three items were summed. The total scale score was dichotomized: those who scored a '3' were recoded as '0' (not susceptible) and any scores greater than '3' were coded as '1' (susceptible).
