Underage individuals can easily buy cigarettes online using money orders. However, internet filtering programs effectively block access to these online tobacco vendors, significantly enhancing prevention efforts.

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Tobacco Control
  • Internet Commerce

Background:

  • Online cigarette sales present a potential pathway for underage individuals to access tobacco products.
  • The ease of circumventing age verification for online tobacco purchases remains a concern.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the accessibility of online cigarettes for underage smokers using money orders.
  • To evaluate the effectiveness of internet filtering software in restricting access to internet cigarette vendors (ICVs).

Main Methods:

  • Underage individuals attempted to purchase cigarettes online using money orders without providing age verification.
  • Two internet filtering programs were tested for their ability to block access to ICV websites.

Main Results:

  • A significant majority (71%) of online cigarette orders were fulfilled without age verification.
  • Internet filtering programs demonstrated high efficacy, blocking 84% and 94% of ICV sites.

Conclusions:

  • Online cigarette purchasing by underage individuals using money orders is feasible.
  • Implementing internet filtering significantly reduces access to online tobacco vendors.
