Megan E. Roberts

Megan E. Roberts studies tobacco and nicotine product use and the policies that shape access to them, including cigarettes, e-cigarettes, and oral nicotine pouches. A major focus is how the density and location of tobacco retailers (stores that sell tobacco) affect communities differently based on rurality, neighborhood characteristics, and local policy choices, with attention to youth vaping and health communication. Her work often informs public health policy debates around retail licensing, flavor restrictions, and age-based sales rules in the US and internationally (e.g., Brazil).

Publication output has fluctuated over the past decade with no strong linear trend, but activity has notably increased in 2025-2026 compared to earlier years.
