The survey included 70 licensed tobacco retailers and assessed anticipated impacts of a retail phase out, strategies they might adopt in response and the support they would seek. Both quantitative ratings and open\u2010text qualitative responses were analysed using descriptive statistics and inductive thematic analysis.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Retailers rated legal requirements, declining profitability and reduced consumer demand as the most important drivers for them to cease tobacco sales, while few highlighted public or community health considerations. One\u2010third reported needing lead\u2010in time to transition, citing financial compensation, business planning support and opportunities for product substitution as priorities. Concerns about illicit tobacco trade featured prominently, with many describing reduced legal sales, financial loss and security risks.
