Abstract
This paper reviews tobacco and smoking mobile phone applications ("apps") in light of recent concerns about their proliferation and potential impact on young people. The paper highlights a number of pro-smoking apps as well as weaknesses in current legislation restricting tobacco promotion and questions the legal obligations of organizations such as Google and Apple in providing access platforms for pro-smoking apps. The paper concludes with recommendations for research into the actual impact of apps and other forms of social and user generated content activity.
