电子烟越来越流行，也越来越有争议。电子烟商店和便利店是常见但独特的电子烟产品来源，它们的位置可能反映了潜在的目标市场。这项研究调查了六个大都市统计区（msa）的电子烟商店和便利店的密度和社区人口统计数据：亚特兰大、波士顿、明尼阿波利斯、俄克拉荷马城、圣地亚哥、西雅图。我们使用Yelp和b谷歌应用程序编程接口确定了459家电子烟商店，使用ReferenceUSA和Dun & Bradstreet确定了10,777家便利店。零售商被地理编码到人口普查区（n = 4,442），并使用非白人百分比、青年百分比（5-17岁或5-20岁）和2013-2017年美国社区调查的家庭收入中位数作为预测因素进行逻辑回归。每1万名年轻人中，电子烟商店的密度从0.6（波士顿、圣地亚哥）到1.7（俄克拉荷马城）不等，便利店的密度从12.6（圣地亚哥）到26.3（俄克拉荷马城）不等。逻辑回归表明，电子烟商店更有可能位于波士顿年轻人比例较低的地区，但亚特兰大年轻人比例较高，波士顿和西雅图的收入较低。在亚特兰大和波士顿，便利店更可能位于非白人人口比例较低的地区；亚特兰大、波士顿、圣地亚哥和西雅图的收入较低；亚特兰大、波士顿和明尼阿波利斯的年轻人比例更高。这些常见的电子烟产品零售来源与各个msa的社区社会人口统计数据存在差异。研究结果表明，在一些msa，电子烟商店和便利店可能针对年轻人和低收入人群。
Vaping is increasingly prevalent and controversial. Vape shops and convenience stores are common but distinct sources of vaping products, and where they locate may reflect likely target markets. This study examined the density and neighborhood demographics of vape shops and convenience stores in six metropolitan statistical areas (MSAs): Atlanta, Boston, Minneapolis, Oklahoma City, San Diego, Seattle. We identified 459 vape shops using Yelp and Google application programming interfaces and 10,777 convenience stores using ReferenceUSA and Dun & Bradstreet. Retailers were geocoded to census tracts (n = 4,442), and logistic regressions were conducted using as predictors percent non-White, percent youth (5-17 years or 5-20 years), and median household income from the American Community Survey, 2013-2017. Per 10,000 young adults, vape shop density ranged from 0.6 (Boston, San Diego) to 1.7 (Oklahoma City), and convenience store density ranged from 12.6 (San Diego) to 26.3 (Oklahoma City). Logistic regressions indicated that vape shops more likely resided in tracts with lower percentages of youth in Boston, but higher percentages of youth in Atlanta, as well as with lower incomes in Boston and Seattle. Convenience stores more likely resided in tracts with lower percentages of non-Whites in Atlanta and Boston; lower incomes in Atlanta, Boston, San Diego, and Seattle; and higher percentages of youth in Atlanta, Boston, and Minneapolis. These common retail sources of vaping products differentially locate in relation to neighborhood sociodemographics across MSAs. Findings suggest that, in some MSAs, vape shops and convenience stores may target youth and lower income populations.
