The NCI summary report, What's in a Name? Examination of Light and Intermittent Smokers, was released May 2007. The report outlines specific high-priority research recommendations and aims to set a tobacco control research agenda to address an understudied research topic-light and intermittent smoking. The report is a product of a meeting which convened leading scientists in the field of tobacco control to review the state of the science on light and intermittent smokers, summarize research progress, identify gaps, limitations, and challenges in research, and develop and prioritize recommendations to advance research related to this growing subgroup of smokers.
