Trkiye conducted GATS in 2008, 2012, and 2016 as one of the first nations in the world to do so [14,15,16]

Research shows that cigarette minimum pack standards included in the 2009 Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act effectively raised prices, discouraged experimentation and brand switching, and reduced youth access and light use.12 Similarly, local minimum packaging standards for cigars and cigarillos implemented in several states13 effectively increased price and decreased youth access.14 It follows that cheap, high-capacity disposable e-cigarettes may be an appealing entry point for non-tobacco users, experimenters and light users, just as small packs of combustible products are appealing to price-sensitive consumers and light users.15 16 While additional research is needed on the effects that e-cigarette volume capacity may have on access, initiation, sustained use or progression to other tobacco products, it is clear that e-cigarettes require their own packaging standards based on volume capacity
