Tobacco prevention is a field of research that focuses on developing and implementing strategies to reduce tobacco use and its associated health risks. This includes efforts to prevent people, particularly young people, from starting to use tobacco products, as well as helping current smokers to quit. Research in this area may include studying the effectiveness of different tobacco control interventions, such as public health campaigns, tobacco taxes, smoke-free policies, and tobacco cessation programs. The goal of tobacco prevention research is to improve public health by reducing the prevalence of tobacco use and its negative consequences.
