Videos were coded for user demographics, tobacco product types and paraphernalia across 15 s episodes. Trends were analysed, and future prevalence was forecasted to 2050 using the Holt-Winters method.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>Tobacco imagery was observed in 153 of 880 videos (17.4%), having combined 3.1 billion YouTube views. Cigarettes (51%) and cigars (34%) dominated, followed by shisha (7%), tobacco pipe (5%) and e-cigarettes (3%). Tobacco imagery appeared in the first 15 s of 23% of videos. Five artists accounted for 28% of videos with tobacco imagery and 33% of the tobacco events. The proportion of videos with tobacco imagery increased by 1.58 percentage points annually and is projected to exceed 55% by 2050 without intervention.</p><p><strong>Conclusions: </strong>Tobacco imagery is prevalent in Nigerian music videos, amplified by Afrobeats' global reach and youth viewership. The upward trend and shift towards newer products like shisha and e-cigarettes signal evolving public health risks and underscores the need for robust enforcement of existing regulations, alongside artist and corporate engagement to mitigate tobacco normalisation.</p>","PeriodicalId":23145,"journal":{"name":"Tobacco Control","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.7,"publicationDate":"2025-10-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145368843","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Records were eligible for inclusion if they examined tobacco retailers' perceptions, attitudes or views on selling tobacco and nicotine products, or opinions on TC measures or ceasing tobacco sales.

Most retailers demonstrated a strong understanding of existing TC measures, although knowledge varied by country and retailer demographics. Retailers largely opposed TC policies such as taxes, product display bans and standardised tobacco packaging. Despite recognising tobacco as a low-profit product for their business, most studies reported perceived customer attraction and retention as key reasons why retailers continue selling tobacco. 10 studies from high-income countries (Australia, New Zealand and the USA) indicated that stringent TC measures, along with personal ethical considerations, are key factors that motivate discontinuing tobacco sales.</p><p><strong>Conclusions: </strong>This review found that tobacco retailers typically report negative attitudes about TC regulations.

These factors may also inform communication strategies concerning regulated phase-outs of tobacco retailing.</p>","PeriodicalId":23145,"journal":{"name":"Tobacco Control","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.7,"publicationDate":"2025-10-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145303650","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
