TL;DR

If there are differences in young people's responsiveness to price and tobacco control policies for population subgroups and whether or not these differences, if they exist, can explain sex and racial differences in trends in the prevalence of smoking among young people in the United States, then policymakers need to keep in mind that there is not a “one-size fits all” strategy for discouraging smoking.
