Research areas include: 1) tobacco product composition and design 2), the toxicity of tobacco products, 3) addiction and abuse liability of tobacco products, 4) the short- and long-term health effects of tobacco products, 5) people’s behaviors related to tobacco product use and characteristics, 6) communicating to the public regarding nicotine and the health effects of tobacco products, 7) the influences of tobacco marketing on susceptibility and tobacco product use, and 8) the potential or actual impact of FDA regulatory actions. The strategic priorities for these research areas can be found at https://www.fda.gov/tobacco-products/research/research-priorities.
