Think clove cigarettes are so six years ago? A new study from Keck School of Medicine of the University of Southern California (USC) researchers finds that despite a federal Food and Drug Administration (FDA) ban in 2009, flavored cigarettes are still available for purchase over the Internet and are popular search targets.<\/p>\n

The researchers found heightened online interest in flavored cigarettes by doing a case study on Djarum, a manufacturer of flavored cigarettes and cigars, the latter of which are legal. By monitoring the search terms \u201cDjarum cigarettes\u201d and \u201cDjarum cigars\u201d in Google, the scientists discovered in the first 50 search results for \u201cDjarum cigarettes\u201d that 72 percent of websites promoted and 34 sold the illegal cigarettes. In addition, there were 291 percent more searches for the flavored cigarette line than the replacement cigar line five years after the ban.
\n\u201cWe weren\u2019t surprised that the web is being used to circumvent tobacco regulations,\u201d said Jon-Patrick Allem, PhD, a postdoctoral fellow with the USC Tobacco Center of Regulatory Science (TCORS) and corresponding author on the study. \u201cMost surprising was the constant rate of interest in the illegal products (the cigarettes) versus the legal products (cigars).\u201d
\nThe study is among the first to examine the reactions of consumers and the tobacco industry to flavored cigarette bans, which are also in force in the European Union and other countries.
\nThe researchers suggest beefed-up enforcement, fines and shutting down websites where possible, though tobacco vendor websites can be hosted outside of the country that has enacted a ban.<\/p>\n

USC is one of 14 centers nationwide to be named as a TCORS. The FDA program was established in 2013 to create a scientific foundation for FDA decisions about tobacco regulations.
\n\u201cUsing data from the web to inform regulatory science is one of the goals for us here at USC moving forward,\u201d Allem said.<\/p>\n

The paper, \u201cWhen a ban really is not a ban: Internet loopholes and Djarum flavoured cigarettes in the USA,\u201d was published June 17, 2015, in the peer-reviewed journal Tobacco Control<\/em>. The research team included John Ayers, San Diego State University; Ben Althouse, The Santa Fe Institute; and Rebecca Williams, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
\nThe research was funded by National Cancer Institute (grants 5R01CA169189-02 and T32CA009492).
