The report highlights evidence gaps that are priorities for future research and makes recommendations to improve the quality of this research. It was produced at the request of the Center for Tobacco Products of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. The report is accompanied by several supplemental publications, including report highlights, recommendations, and conclusions organized by level of evidence and by outcome; the report’s chapters are also available for individual download.
