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.

- FIGURES, GRAPHS,
ILLUSTRATIONS, PHOTOGRAPHS, SPECIAL CHARACTERS
To ensure optimum quality, please follow the guidelines below when submitting artwork.
Figures, graphs, illustrations and photogrpahs should be prepared to the correct size and each one supplied as an individual file, separate to the manuscript Word file. Include placement instructions in the Word document, such as "[Insert fig 1 here]".
Figures created in Microsoft Word, Excel or Powerpoint need to be saved as PDFs.
Figures created in a drawing program such as Adobe llustrator, CorelDRAW, Freehand, Microsoft Publisher or similar should be saved as EPS (encapsulated postscript) files.
Figures created in Photoshop or with other photographic software should be saved with a minimum resolution of 600 dpi and in TIF format. 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. All figures and graphs should should be in black and white line art (artwork that has only text and lines, no shades of grey or blocks of colour).
All photographs should be supplied as separate files in JPEG or TIFF formats for a minimum 300 dpi resolution. (As a rough guide, the file size of each photograph should be above 200KB).
Manuscripts which contain special characters (equations, Chinese characters, etc.) need to be supplied as a high resolution PDF file (print or press format) with all fonts embedded as well as the Word or RTF document.
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.
