This study was conducted in five Egyptian governorates (Cairo, Giza, Qualiubia, Sharkia and BeniSuif) representing different geographical regions in Egypt.

Nearly all schools studied had at least one tobacco POS within a 100-meter radius. All surveyed tobacco POS displayed tobacco products. Different tactics of marketing to children and youth were identified.
