Joint impact of cigarette taxes and smoke-free laws on youth cigarette smoking and related disparities in the USA.
Article in Tobacco control, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectiveTo examine the impact of cigarette taxes on youth smoking in counties with and without workplace and hospitality smoke-free laws.
methodsUsing a nationally representative sample of 8th, 10th and 12th graders from the 2001-2021 Monitoring the Future study, we investigated the interaction of taxes and smoke-free policies on cigarette smoking participation, initiation and intention, examining differences by sociodemographic factors (sex, race and ethnicity, parental education, college educational expectations). We stratified models by grade, estimating the average marginal effects (AMEs) using modified Poisson regression with a sandwich variance estimator.
resultsAmong 12th graders, higher taxes were associated with lower past 30-day smoking, and the relationship was stronger in populations covered by either hospitality or workplace smoke-free laws compared with 12th graders not covered (workplace: AME=-0.009, 95% CI=-0.016 to -0.001; hospitality: AME=-0.010, 95% CI=-0.017 to -0.003). We also examined three-way interactions between taxes, smoke-free policies, and sociodemographic subgroups. We found interactions for taxes with hospitality smoke-free laws and parental education for daily smoking initiation, such that higher taxes were effective in areas with smoke-free laws among 8th graders regardless of parental education, but in areas without smoke-free laws, only among 8th graders whose parents had a college education or more. We found no other statistically significant interactions.
conclusionWe found some evidence that taxes and smoke-free laws may work jointly to reduce cigarette smoking in certain youth populations. Policymakers should consider the complex tobacco control landscape and its effects on subpopulations when introducing laws.
