Objectives. To assess tobacco product availability, advertised discounts, and prices in rural and nonrural stores, comparing results for two definitions of rural. Method. This geospatial study linked data from marketing surveillance in a representative sample of licensed tobacco retailers in California (n = 1,276) and categorized rural/nonrural stores at the county and tract levels. Data were collected from January to March, 2017, and mixed-models analyses tested for differences by location (rural vs. nonrural). Results. Compared to nonrural stores, rural-county stores were 2.1 (95% confidence interval [CI; 1.2, 3.6]) times more likely to sell chewing tobacco and 2.5 (95% CI [1.4, 4.2]) times more likely to sell roll-your-own. Rural-county stores sold larger packs of cigarillos for less than $1 (coefficient = 0.22, 95% CI [0.05, 0.39]) and charged less for the cheapest cigarette pack regardless of brand (estimated mean difference = $-0.21, 95% CI [-0.39, -0.03]). Contrary to expectation, a popular brand of chewing tobacco cost more in rural-county stores. A tract-level definition of rural reclassified only 1 in 10 stores, and did not substantially alter the results. Overall, 32.9% of stores advertised discounts on chewing tobacco, but this was more common in rural than nonrural census tracts (adjusted odds ratio = 1.81, 95% CI [1.14, 2.88]). Discussion. Evidence that $1 buys more cigarillos in rural-county stores than elsewhere adds to health equity concerns that the prevalence of cheap, flavored tobacco is not limited to neighborhoods characterized by socioeconomic disadvantage, higher proportions of African Americans, and higher proportions of school-age youth. Policies that focus on the retail environment for tobacco are needed to make tobacco less attractive and more costly everywhere, including rural areas.

We looked at all the different brands, shops, and locations and compiled a list of the average price of chewing tobacco by state. This is just intended to give you an average on the can cost you may see if you hit a gas station in any of these states on a road trip.
Although the law now prohibits the tobacco industry from using these product descriptors, companies are still misleading consumers with marketing that suggests certain cigarettes, such as those from the Natural American Spirit brand, are natural, organic and additive-free, and therefore may be less risky.
The Massachusetts Dental Society (MDS) and the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute are partnering to spread the word that chewing tobacco, otherwise known as spit, dip or smokeless tobacco, is not a safe alternative to smoking. It's addictive and a serious health risk.
According to a 2005 survey by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, approximately 12,000 male high school students in Massachusetts reported using chewing tobacco on at least one of the 30 days preceding the survey. Furthermore, many health care groups fear that due to the increasing number of smoking bans now in effect, this number could rise.
"The more you use tobacco or dip, the greater the chance of getting cancer," says Marshall Posner, MD, director of the Head and Neck Oncology Center at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in Boston. "The treatment for oral cancer includes radical and deforming surgery. The changes in the cells never go away, so tobacco is a 'gift' that keeps on giving long after chewing or dipping has stopped."

The owner of a tobacco store in Beijing told China Daily that prices of most cigarettes sold at the store had been increased by about 10 percent over the weekend. For example, a pack of a popular brand, which used to cost 25 yuan ($4), now costs 27 yuan. 2ff7e9595c
