| CMCH Synopsis: |
FDA regulations in 1996 restricted outdoor tobacco advertisements within a 1,000-ft buffer zone of public schools, yet children are still exposed to many tobacco advertisements within the neighborhoods surrounding their schools. In this study, researchers found that 6 Boston neighborhoods are full of outdoor tobacco advertisements, particularly in the neighborhoods with many children, large Black and Hispanic populations, and low socioeconomic status. These findings suggest that, even with FDA regulations in place, children continue to be exposed to tobacco advertisements in their daily lives. © Center on Media and Child Health
