Article Synopsis
- A study investigated price minimization strategies (PMS) for tobacco purchases among public housing residents in D.C. and a national sample of low-income adults, focusing on their effectiveness in helping lower-income individuals save money.

- The research concluded that understanding and regulating these money-saving strategies, alongside promoting quitting, could help mitigate the tobacco-related impacts on these financially vulnerable populations.
