Abstract
This review examines the effectiveness of: (a) mass media interventions designed to prevent the uptake of smoking in children and young people and (b) interventions that are designed to prevent the illegal sale of tobacco to children and young people. The review considers specific sub-questions related to the factors that might influence effectiveness, any differential effects for different audiences, and barriers and facilitators to implementation.
