• The authors discuss lessons learned from their experience in applying systems science to tobacco control at the Tobacco Control Research Branch of the National Cancer Institute at the U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH). Those studies were directed at determining factors that may disrupt or encourage continued use of tobacco. The authors believe that tobacco control organizations can use systems science to more-effectively apply evidence-based approaches in smoking prevention efforts.
