Contributions to Tobacco and Nicotine Research (formerly: Beiträge zur Tabakforschung International / Contribution to Tobacco Research International) publishes articles with a focus on tobacco, nicotine, and related consumer products. In addition, all aspects of research on the tobacco plant as well as on product technology and manufacturing are relevant for the Journal. Products of interest comprise (i) combustible tobacco products (cigarettes, cigars, pipes, etc.), (ii) smokeless tobacco (SLT) products (snuff, snus, chewing tobacco, etc.), (iii) tobacco heating products (THP), (iv) electronic cigarettes (e-cigs, w/o nicotine), (v) oral nicotine delivery (OND) products. All scientific investigations on product-related properties (including physical, chemical, biological, and toxicological properties) as well as on the influence on consumers’ behavior and response (including acute and long-term product use patterns and biomarker profiles) are considered for publication. Submissions can be of the following types: original investigations, reviews, short reports, commentaries, and letters to the editors.Fields covered by the JournalResearch into the tobacco plantTobacco plantMetabolismCultivationPesticides Biotechnology (Plant pathology, Mycology, Microbiology)Manufacture of tobacco productsProcessing of tobaccoFlavorManufacture of cigarettes and other productsTobacco and environmentChemical engineering including physical chemistryAnalysis and properties of tobacco smokePhysical propertiesChemical propertiesCombustion studiesMainstream/sidestream smokeFilter studiesSpecial substancesAnalytical methodsMachine smokingTobacco products other than cigarettesCigars / cigarillosPipe tobaccoSmokeless tobacco (SLT) products (snuff, snus, chewing tobacco)New productsTobacco heating products (THP)Electronic cigarettes (e-cigs, w/o nicotine)Oral nicotine devices (OND, e.g., nicotine pouches)Human smoking behaviorBiomonitoringConsumer behavior
