Aims and Scope

The Journal of Smoking Cessation is the world's only publication devoted exclusively to the treatment of smoking cessation. The journal is targeted specifically to the area of smoking cessation at the “grass-roots” level, focusing on observational studies that have practical implications for those assisting smokers to quit.The journal is a high quality peer-reviewed publication with an international editorial board that has itself wide experience in the field of smoking cessation.

The Editorial Board encourages submissions of case studies, letters to the editor and short studies. A regular feature of the journal is a section entitled “What the research says … in one line ” This feature enables access to a wide variety of publication and reviews about research and relevant publications from elsewhere for busy clinicians.

The journal will not publish articles supported by funding from the Tobacco Industry. All authors should clearly state their funding sources, state clearly conflicts of interest and pharmaceutical industry support

Minimum resolution for scanned graphics is 300dpi for halftone work (e.g., photographs) and 600 dpi for line art, and these should also be in TIF format.

   Prior to sending artwork, the separate files of figures, graphs, illustrations, and so on, should be printed by the author to test that the fonts have been embedded correctly and there is no distortion in the artwork (e.g., lines and fonts reproduce cleanly with no jagged lines or fuzzy edges), as any such faults cannot be corrected by the publisher.

Use quotation marks the first time the word or phrase is used; do not use them again. Do not use quotation marks to introduce a technical or key term. Instead, italicise the term.
