Tobacco smoking is one of the leading causes of death and disability in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN). Despite implementation of some tobacco control measures, youth continue to initiate smoking. This narrative review outlines how tobacco advertising, promotion, and sponsorship (TAPS) may influence smoking attitudes and uptake among youth in the region.    METHODS  Nine electronic databases were searched on EBSCOhost to identify studies published up until December 2019. All studies published in English that investigated youth smoking and TAPS in ASEAN countries were included. Thematic analysis was used to investigate the influence of TAPS on youth smoking.    RESULTS  Thirty-seven studies were identified. This research showed that youth were exposed and receptive to tobacco advertising, which may contribute to positive attitudes towards tobacco brands and smoking. Studies also demonstrated that youth were exposed to point-of-sale (POS) advertisements or promotions and individual sales promotions. However, little research has explored how these strategies influence attitudes and consumption behaviors among youth, or, how online advertising and cigarette packet branding may influence youth smoking.    CONCLUSIONS  Youth in ASEAN countries continue to be exposed to TAPS, particularly through POS advertisements or promotions and individual sales promotions. There is also cause for concern about ‘below-the-line’ advertising and the increasing role of cigarette packaging as a promotional tool. These findings support calls for all ASEAN countries to ratify the Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (FCTC), introduce comprehensive bans on all forms of tobacco advertising, including POS advertising and cigarette pack displays, and implement plain packaging legislation for tobacco products.
