A FRAMEWORK FOR ENVIRONMENTAL STRATEGIES, continued

Product

Product factors concern how the substance is produced for sale (such as packaging). For example, malt liquor can be sold in 40- and 64-ounce serving sizes, and crack provides a more affordable version of cocaine. Product factors can influence the degree to which youth are attracted to substances. Examples of environmental strategies that influence how substances are produced for sale include:

  • Prohibitions on sales of products with characteristics that clearly appeal to youth;
  • Regulation of alcohol content or container size and shape;
  • Prohibitions on the sale of single cigarettes.
