Nicotine & Tobacco Research, the official journal of the Society for Research on Nicotine and Tobacco, is the world's first and only peer-reviewed journal devoted exclusively to nicotine and tobacco research. Nicotine & Tobacco Research aims to provide a forum for empirical findings on the many aspects of nicotine and tobacco including research from the biobehavioral, neurophysiological, epidemiological, prevention, and treatment arenas. Along with manuscripts from each of the areas mentioned above, we seek to encourage submissions that are integrative in nature and that may cross traditional disciplinary boundaries. Nicotine & Tobacco Research is a peer reviewed journal. Its goal is to serve international and interdisciplinary scientific communication devoted exclusively to nicotine and tobacco research. A specific objective of the journal is to stimulate submissions that are multidisciplinary in nature. Submissions are sought that not only are technically competent but are original and contain information or ideas of fresh interest to our international readership.
