加味烟草产品对青年有吸引力，各司法管辖区实施了政策干预措施，以减少青年烟草的开始。这项研究回顾了香料烟草销售限制的过程、挑战和遵从性监测。纽约市(NYC)在2009年通过了一项限制香料非卷烟烟草产品销售的政策。为了描述该政策的通过、法律辩护、实施和执行，我们进行了利益相关者访谈，审查了立法和法律记录，并分析了有关零售商检查和违规的行政数据。在这项政策之前，广泛的公共和政策制定者教育努力。障碍包括对该政策通过的反对，以及一家烟草制造商的诉讼，该诉讼试图阻止该法律的实施，并证明纽约市缺乏限制香料产品销售的权力。该市如期实施了加香烟草政策，并经受住了法律挑战。纽约市将执法整合到该市的零售商合规监测基础设施中，违规率很低。我们对纽约市香料烟草政策执行和执行经验的调查，可以为政策制定者和卫生专业人员提供与政策执行相关的见解，扩大对这些政策的潜在影响的了解，并为合规监测工作提供信息。
Flavored tobacco products appeal to youth, and jurisdictions have implemented policy interventions to reduce youth tobacco initiation. This study reviews the process, challenges, and compliance monitoring of a flavored tobacco sales restriction. New York City (NYC) passed a policy restricting the sale of flavored non-cigarette tobacco products in 2009. To describe the policy's passage, legal defense, implementation, and enforcement, we conducted stakeholder interviews, reviewed legislative and legal records, and analyzed administrative data on retailer inspections and violations. Extensive public and policy maker education efforts preceded this policy. Barriers included opposition to the policy's passage and a tobacco manufacturer's lawsuit that sought to halt the law's implementation and to establish that NYC lacked the authority to restrict the sale of flavored products. The city implemented the flavored tobacco policy as intended and it withstood legal challenges. NYC integrated enforcement into the city's retailer compliance monitoring infrastructure, and the violation rate is low. Our investigation of NYC's experience with flavored tobacco policy implementation and enforcement can provide policy makers and health professionals with insights relevant to policy implementation, expand understanding of the potential impact of these kinds of policies, and inform compliance monitoring efforts.
