Abstract
A study conducted by the University of Minnesota found that cigarettes can be purchased on American Indian–owned Internet sites for about one fifth of the price at grocery stores, making this a more convenient, lower-priced, and appealing method of purchasing cigarettes. Researchers and educators are challenged to address this new marketing ploy and to discover ways to curb rising smoking rates in American Indian communities.Keywords
