Centre for Tobacco Control Research

The CTCR was established by The Cancer Research Campaign (now Cancer Research UK) in 1999. As tobacco is the largest preventable cause of cancer death, tobacco control, based on sound research, is a priority for Cancer Research UK. Ensuring that children are not lured into smoking by clever promotional techniques is the key to preventing these avoidable deaths in the future. The Centre for Tobacco Control Research is part of the Institute for Social Marketing .
