About The Study: Compared with expected sales, quarterly cigarette sales per capita were lower in eight states and Washington, D.C., higher in 22 states, and unchanged in 20 states during the COVID-19 pandemic according to this analysis. The differential changes in cigarette sales across states may reflect state-level variation in the COVID-19 pandemic response and tobacco control policy environment.
