Study of the Swedish minimum-age law on tobacco

Young 1996, 2000 and 2005 is a co-operation project, lead by docent Curt Hagquist at Karlstad University. It revolves around the evaluation of the prohibition of tobacco sales to minors. Three large data collections have been conducted with questionnaires to children in the compulsory school years 7 and 9, and the second year of upper secondary school in the municipalities of Malmö, Värmland and Västernorrland. Academic reports are currently underway for this large project. Data from these studies are also used in the analyses of school pupil groups for the evaluation of the parental support programme in Värmland.
