Call for Paper

We are pleased to announce the re-launch of the international, peer-reviewed, and open-access journal, Turkish Journal of Tobacco Control, published by the Society for Health Promotion and Tobacco Control. First published in 1992 and suspended since 2001, our journal will resume publication in 2025 and will continue to promote interdisciplinary research on the health, economic, social, and environmental impacts of tobacco use.

Our journal aims to enable researchers, policymakers, educators, and health professionals to exchange information and promote evidence-based, life-saving interventions for tobacco control. In particular, we welcome studies that address the challenges faced in Türkiye and similar countries, while contributing to the global fight against the tobacco epidemic and the prevention, control, and management of tobacco-induced diseases.

Scope and Areas of Interest

We accept original research articles, reviews, policy analyses, and case studies on topics including but not limited to:

  • Health effects of tobacco use and exposure to secondhand smoke
  • Public health strategies and interventions for tobacco control
  • Economic, social, and environmental consequences of the production, manufacturing, and consumption of tobacco products
  • Evaluation of the outcomes of tobacco control policies and practices
  • Behavioral and sociocultural factors affecting tobacco use
  • The role of digital and traditional media in tobacco use prevention
  • Ethical issues and challenges in tobacco control
  • Tobacco industry tactics and their impact on tobacco use

Our journal publishes scientific studies in Turkish and English, and authors are required to submit their articles in accordance with the journal's publication guidelines via our online submission system.

Accepted articles will be published three times a year (in April, August, and December) as open access to ensure that scientific knowledge is accessible in a timely manner. To encourage high-quality scientific production in the field of tobacco control, we invite researchers and experts to share their original and innovative work.

You can access detailed information about article submission, writing rules, and editorial policies on the journal website.
