Collins, Lauren, et al. "E-cigarette marketing and communication: how e-cigarette companies market e-cigarettes and the public engages with e-cigarette information." Nicotine and Tobacco Research 21.1 (2018): 14-24. (SR explores how marketing may affect perceptions but doesn't assess the effect on behaviour/smoking/cessation. Looks at portrayal in the media too). Particularly relevant now given the recent deaths in America from vaping, and how this has been reported in the UK. |
