Cigar Warning Youth Advisory Board

The research study seeks to improve the effectiveness of warnings for little cigars and cigarillos (LCCs) among youth. Scientific findings will provide novel and necessary evidence regarding the effectiveness of LCC warnings and will inform efforts to strengthen warnings through larger warning size and added images. Ultimately, this research can be used to reduce LCC use among youth and lessen tobacco-related disparities.
