煙草引起的疾病包括與全球煙草使用的預防和控制有關的研究的所有方面。預防煙草引起的疾病只是該雜志的一個方面，其總的范圍是為發表可有助于減輕全球煙草引起的疾病負擔的研究論文提供一個論壇。為了解決這一流行病，我們認為必須有一種途徑來發表關于煙草控制倡議的研究/政策活動，這可能在區域和國家一級是非常重要的。這種方法為全球范圍內的煙草控制社區提供了非常重要的“親手”服務，因為共同的問題有共同的解決辦法。因此，我們將自己視為這個全球社區中的“連接器”。因此，該雜志鼓勵提交所有醫學、生物學和心理社會學科的文章，從醫學和牙科臨床醫生到衛生專業人員到基礎生物醫學和臨床科學家。

Tobacco Induced Diseases encompasses all aspects of research related to the prevention and control of tobacco use at a global level. Preventing diseases attributable to tobacco is only one aspect of the journal, whose overall scope is to provide a forum for the publication of research articles that can contribute to reducing the burden of tobacco induced diseases globally. To address this epidemic we believe that there must be an avenue for the publication of research/policy activities on tobacco control initiatives that may be very important at a regional and national level. This approach provides a very important "hands on" service to the tobacco control community at a global scale - as common problems have common solutions. Hence, we see ourselves as "connectors" within this global community.The journal hence encourages the submission of articles from all medical, biological and psychosocial disciplines, ranging from medical and dental clinicians, through health professionals to basic biomedical and clinical scientists.
