Tobacco use is the most important preventable cause of cancer, which is why tobacco control research, under the leadership of K. Michael Cummings, PhD, is an important focus of the Cancer Prevention Program.

The tobacco control research group is investigating

• Gene-environment determinants of nicotine dependence and cessation
• New therapeutic modalities for smoking cessation and harm reduction
• The internal documents of the tobacco industry
• The impact of local, national and international tobacco control policies.
