Introduction
Aims and Scopes

Research exploring the health consequences of tobacco consumption, including studies on smoking-related diseases and the impacts of tobacco on specific populations, such as youth, pregnant women, and people with mental health issues. - Behavioral Research on Tobacco Consumption:
Investigations into the behavioral aspects of tobacco use, including addiction mechanisms, cessation strategies, and the influences of peer pressure, marketing, and social norms on smoking behavior. - Policy Analysis and Implementation:
Examination of tobacco control policies, such as smoking bans and taxation, and their effectiveness in reducing tobacco use. This includes studies assessing compliance with international frameworks like the WHO FCTC. - Emerging Tobacco Products and Trends:
Studies focusing on new forms of tobacco consumption, such as e-cigarettes and heat-not-burn products, their health effects, usage trends, and regulatory challenges. - Socioeconomic and Demographic Disparities in Tobacco Use:
Research highlighting inequalities in tobacco use across different demographic groups, including studies on how socioeconomic status, race, and mental health affect tobacco consumption patterns.
Trending and Emerging
- Impact of E-Cigarettes and Alternative Tobacco Products:
A significant increase in studies focusing on e-cigarettes and other alternative tobacco products demonstrates a growing interest in understanding their health implications, usage patterns, and regulatory challenges. - Mental Health and Tobacco Use Correlation:
Emerging research is focusing on the relationship between mental health and tobacco use, particularly among young adults and vulnerable populations, indicating a recognition of the complex interplay between these factors. - Youth and Adolescent Tobacco Use Trends:
There is a rising emphasis on understanding tobacco use trends among youth and adolescents, including the impact of marketing and peer influence, as well as the long-term consequences of early tobacco exposure. - Global Tobacco Control Policies and Their Effects:
An increasing number of studies are analyzing the implementation and outcomes of global tobacco control policies, particularly in low- and middle-income countries, reflecting a commitment to understanding and improving public health strategies. - Community-Based Interventions and Cessation Programs:
Research is trending towards evaluating community-specific interventions and tailored cessation programs, especially for marginalized groups, emphasizing the need for culturally competent approaches to tobacco control.
Declining or Waning
- Traditional Cigarette Smoking Studies:
Research focusing exclusively on traditional cigarette smoking is appearing less frequently as the field expands to include a broader range of tobacco products, including e-cigarettes and other alternatives. - Cessation Programs for General Populations:
While cessation programs remain important, there is a noticeable decrease in studies targeting the general population, with a shift towards more specific groups, such as those with mental health issues or unique demographic characteristics. - Single Country Studies without Comparative Analysis:
There is a waning interest in studies that focus solely on tobacco use within a single country without comparative analysis to other regions or global trends, possibly due to the increasing demand for broader, more generalizable findings. - Historical Perspectives on Tobacco Use:
Research that delves into historical trends and practices related to tobacco use is becoming less common, as contemporary issues and emerging products take precedence in the journal.
