American Lung Association Congratulates the Journal Tobacco Control

Last week the American Lung Association recognized the journal Tobacco Control for 20 years of publication. When its first issue was printed in 1992, Tobacco Control was the only journal focused primarily on the topic, according to an editorial in the commemorative issue.

"The American Lung Association congratulates the journal Tobacco Control on the occasion of its 20th anniversary. During its two decades of publishing, Tobacco Control has become an important source of evidence that has played an invaluable role to researchers, policymakers and advocates in making the case as to why tobacco control policies are so important in saving lives and saving money," the statement reads. "The Lung Association looks forward to more of its strong, thoughtful examinations of the day’s most pressing tobacco control issues."
