| WHO Collaborating Center for Tobacco or Health Programme | |
| Since National Cancer Center was designated as a WHO collaborating
center for "tobacco or health programme" in 1981, we have been collecting
information concerning smoking and health in Japan and overseas, and
through analysis of the information collected, we have prepared basic
data for smoking control measures. In particular, we are emphasizing
the development of methods for quantitative indication of the relationship
between smoking and its effects on health. In this way, it will be possible
to clarify the future trends of morbidity and mortality due to smoking,
which are likely to continue to worsen in future, and to estimate the
efficacy of smoking control measures. |
