High risk alternative tobacco products disproportionately sold in low-income communities

(Columbia University's Mailman School of Public Health) Retailers in minority and low-income communities are more likely to sell and advertise the most inexpensive and risky alternative tobacco products. Potentially less risky, non-combusted products such as smokeless tobacco and e-cigarettes are more accessible in higher income and predominantly White neighborhoods.
