Impact of e-cigarette advertising, promotion, and sponsorship on cognition and behavior: a systematic review of public responses.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Exposure to advertising, promotion, and sponsorship (APS) for e-cigarettes has expanded rapidly across retail, online, and social media platforms. Concerns remain that APS may shape harm perceptions, increase susceptibility, and encourage initiation and sustained use, particularly among youth and young adults.
