Evaluation of neighborhood deprivation and store characteristics in relation to tobacco retail outlet sales violations.

<h4>Introduction</h4>Regulations of the sale of tobacco products to minors have been effective at reducing adolescent tobacco use overall. However, these efforts may not be uniformly enforced in all areas, creating uneven protection against adolescent smoking. Knowledge regarding factors...
