Research has been shown to be a critical component of successful national tobacco control programmes. China currently has a small number of dedicated researchers addressing tobacco use and control. We encourage the growth of tobacco research as an academic and governmental field of inquiry. Such research would include multiple foci: biologic and toxicologic, epidemiologic, economic, health promotion, evaluation, policy and regulatory, and legal. Developing a community of tobacco researchers would elevate the tobacco issue on the public policy agenda, encourage transparency among key stakeholders and better identify strategies of tobacco control that could be effective in the Chinese context.
研究已被证明是成功的国家烟草控制规划的关键组成部分。中国目前有少数专门研究烟草使用和控制的研究人员。我们鼓励将烟草研究作为学术和政府研究领域发展。此类研究将包括多个重点：生物学和毒理学、流行病学、经济学、健康促进、评估、政策和监管以及法律。培养一个烟草研究人员社区将使烟草问题在公共政策议程中得到提升，鼓励主要利益攸关方之间的透明度，并更好地确定在中国背景下可能有效的烟草控制策略。
