About Institute for Nicotine & Tobacco Studies

Globally, tobacco-related illnesses kill 1 in 10 adults with total deaths from tobacco-related illness expected to exceed 8 million annually by 2030. At the Institute for Nicotine & Tobacco Studies, our mission is to reduce, and ultimately eliminate, tobacco-related morbidity and mortality in New Jersey, the US, and globally. We seek to do this via 1) research that informs interventions, regulations and policies; 2) the delivery of evidence-based tobacco treatment; 3) dissemination of research findings to key stakeholders; and 4) training of tobacco treatment providers and the next generation of tobacco control researchers.
