Education & Training

The Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School was one of the first schools of public health in the U.S. to offer a class dedicated entirely to tobacco control that went beyond the study of the health effects of smoking. The course has now been offered almost continually for over a decade. 
 
"Tobacco Control: National and International Approaches," presents the health and economic burden of tobacco in the U.S. and worldwide and highlights practical approaches to prevention, control, surveillance and evaluation. Through lectures and problem-solving exercises, students examine the evidence as it relates to the determinants of addiction, the economics of global tobacco control, interpretation of the data, the translation of evidence into policy, industry strategies, legal foundations for regulation, and strategies for surveillance and evaluation.
