摘要
This intentionally selective global review reflects the views and frustrations of a public health physician with 45 years of frontline experience in tobacco control. In particular, it focuses on the nexus between research and policy and the long periods between relevant discoveries and application as policy. Consideration is given to the relative neglect of the possibility of reducing the carcinogenicity and toxicity of the cigarette on the grounds that it is the preferred source of nicotine for the global majority of nicotine users. Although the outcome of such change is unquantifiable, there is much in cigarette smoke that can be changed to make it less carcinogenic and less toxic. It is difficult to think of excuses for accepting the status quo.
