Hollings part of $10 million global tobacco study
Hollings researchers are among a group that was awarded $10 million from the National Cancer Institute to examine how regulatory policies affect smoking, vaping and the use of other nicotine products.
“Most of the policies adopted on e-cigarettes and other new nicotine products have been based on emotion and guesswork," said K. Michael Cummings, Ph.D., one of the study leaders and co-leader of Hollings Cancer Center’s Tobacco Research Program. "By comparing the experiences of different countries with varying regulatory approaches, the study seeks to inform United States public policy, based upon the best science available to maximize population health.”
