Smoking and Tobacco Control MonographsThe Issue Smoking is the most preventable cause of death in the United States. At least one-third of all cancer deaths and one-fifth of deaths overall are attributed to tobacco use each year. In 2002, about 170,000 people will die of cancer because of their use of tobacco products. This number represents at least 30% of all estimated cancer deaths in the United States.* *Cancer Facts and Figures 2002, American Cancer Society The Smoking and Tobacco Control Monographs (Reports) The National Cancer Institute established the Smoking and Tobacco Control Monograph series in 1991 to provide ongoing and timely information about emerging public health issues in smoking and tobacco use control. The series reduces the time between availability of information from research projects and the publication and wide dissemination of this information, and enhances the rapidity with which NCI can use findings from research trials to reduce cancer morbidity and mortality. Ordering Information Many of the tobacco monographs can be ordered by calling the National Cancer Institute's Cancer Information Service at 1-800-4-CANCER (1-800-422-6237) or visiting NCI's Publications Locator Web site.
