Implications A debate on the adoption of a tobacco age-of-sale 21 in Europe has not occurred, with recent exception United Kingdom. The current legally set age 18 years is proving to be inadequate as adolescents continue access cigarettes. Tobacco laws have potential further limit cigarettes by minors. We believe that soon time will ripe for this discussion spread throughout Europe, specifically among countries adopted smoke-free generation movement.
Abstract Background and aim As smoking initiation generally occurs in adolescence, prevention is targeted primarily at young adolescents (aged below 16 years). We hypothesize that, with the adoption of increasingly stronger youth access laws, a shift age may have occurred. Design Repeated cross‐sectional survey. Setting The Netherlands. Participants A total 13 163 respondents born between 1980 1995. Measurements In 2010–15 National Health Survey we measured retrospectively self‐reported...
Background An increasing number of European countries implemented a point-of-sale (PoS) display ban on tobacco products. This study assessed the association between PoS bans in Europe and adolescent smoking perceived accessibility tobacco, 2–6 years after implementation. Methods In quasi-experimental design, we compared individuals that did not implement ban, before We used repeated cross-sectional data 174 878 15-year-old 16-year-old adolescents from 25 2007, 2011 2015 Survey Project...

Abstract School tobacco policies (STPs) are a crucial strategy to reduce adolescents smoking. Existing studies have investigated STPs predominantly from school-related ‘insider’ view. Yet, little is known about barriers that not identified the ‘schools’ perspective’, such as perceptions of local stakeholders. Forty-six expert interviews seven European cities with stakeholders at level (e.g. representatives regional health departments, youth protection and field addiction prevention) were...
Abstract Introduction Economic evaluations of tobacco control policies targeting adolescents are scarce. Few take into account real-world, large-scale implementation costs; few compare cost-effectiveness different across countries.

Tobacco-control policies have been suggested to reduce smoking among adolescents. However, there is limited evidence on the real-world costs of implementation in different settings. In this study, we aimed at estimating school bans, prevention programmes and non-school bans (smoking non-educational public settings, sales minors point-of-sale advertising), implemented Finland, Ireland, Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, Italy Portugal, for 2016.We retrospectively collected related inspection,...
School staff members' consistent enforcement of school tobacco policies (STPs) is needed to decrease adolescent smoking and exposure smoke. Staff's confidence, indicating their perceived ability cope with students' negative responses, explains variations in staff's STPs enforcement, yet understanding the determinants for confidence lacking. We analyzed conditions which feel confident addressing students who violate support enforcement. METHODS: Data consists 81 semi-structured interviews...
