This is not a systematic collection of materials,
but my own offering of over 100 useful documents and links.
All documents listed below are PDF documents EXCEPT those indicated.
You must have Adobe Acrobat, which you can find free online, to view pdf documents.
Most exceptions are Microsoft Word Documents.
Internet addresses change frequently, so some of the links may eventually fail.
I shall attempt to keep this site up to date,
but it is clearly not for getting the latest news on tobacco control.

SEARCHING:
Searching is a skill, not a topic area.
Knowledge and policy formulation are both tied to information retrieval.
See the links to useful web sites for all health professionals and tutorials for learning
how to search the internet for information.
This is just a first step, but a very important one for all tobacco control advocates.
And by the way, if you are not connected to GLOBALink,
you are missing a world of tobacco control information.
Virtually every tobacco control document on this web site came to me via GLOBALink
or services tied to it. Sign up today!
