Research
finds online
cigarettes sales
present potential threat to public health
CHAPEL
HILL -- Using the five most popular computer search engines to scour the
Internet, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill researchers have found
that cigarettes vendors are easy to
locate online. They worry that children who cannot purchase discount cigarettes in stores
will go online to buy products damaging to their health.
The
researchers, led by Dr. Kurt M. Ribisl, assistant professor of Health Behavior
and Health Education at the UNC School of Public Health and a member of the
University's Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center, identified 88 vendors in 23
states. Nearly half -- 43 -- were located in New York State, and many were in
tobacco-producing states with cheap cigarettes excise taxes.
Indian reservations housed 49 of the 88 sites.
Only
28.4 percent carried U.S. Surgeon General health warnings that are required by
law to appear on discount cigarettes packages
and advertisements. Almost 20 percent failed to warn minors of minimum age
requirements.
A
report on the study appears in the December issue of Tobacco Control, a public
health journal published by the British Medical Journal. Co-authors are UNC
graduate students Annice E. Kim and Rebecca S. Williams.
"Nearly
all sites -- 96.6 percent -- sold premium or online cigarettes, such as Marlboro,
which is the leading brand among youth, and 21.6 percent sold duty-free
Marlboros which are now banned under the Master Settlement Agreement," Ribisl
said. "About one in five offered standing orders that allow the buyer to receive
regular shipments of cigarettes each
month."
