The Tobacco Control Research Program uses multiple, complementary research strategies to inform tobacco control policy. Our work targets policy at every level, including local, state, national and international tobacco control. The program is structured to prevent youth initiation, promote cessation, research social disparities impacting smoking behavior, and protect the health of non-smokers.
