TobaccoTactics is a unique academic resource that explores how the tobacco industry influences policy and public health in the UK, EU, and internationally.

The site details the tactics and techniques the tobacco industry, and its allies, employ to stall tobacco control measures, such as the introduction of plain packaging in the UK or Australia. It also explores topical health issues: the growing involvement of the industry in promoting e-cigarettes, for instance, or its complicity in tobacco smuggling.

TobaccoTactics also contains profiles of people, organisations, and allies of the tobacco industry and charts their involvement in the smoking and health debate. This is important as the industry often uses supposedly-independent third parties to push its message in the media or lobby politicians.
