Prior research demonstrates evidence of tobacco industry targeting of menthol cigarettes to African-American communities in the point-of-sale environment, leading to disparities in menthol tobacco use. This webinar will provide an overview of a paper published in Health and Place, “The Association between Neighborhood Racial Composition and Menthol Cigarette Pricing in Boston, MA” that examines the association between the price of menthol cigarettes (Newport) and neighborhood demographic make-up on a block-group level in Boston, Massachusetts. Tobacco industry targeting, with a focus on pricing practices, will be discussed to show the disproportionate impact of menthol on certain communities.
