Luk Joossens presented the new Tobacco Control Scale Website at the 7th European Conference on Tobacco or Health in Porto, Portugal.The new website brings together all the information and tables included in the Tobacco Control Scale reports (2005, 2007, 2010, 2013 and 2016) to gather all related information in one site. It also includes a brief history of how the Tobacco Control Scale was developed, a review of all published articles that include the TCS, and other materials (seminars, photos, etc.) related to the scale. Plus, the new website will contain a section of dynamic graphics that we hope to illustrate how important tobacco control policies are to reduce the tobacco epidemic.
This website is a joint initiative of the Association of European Cancer Leagues and the Tobacco Control Unit of the Catalan Institute of Oncology, a WHO Collaborating Center for Tobacco Control.
