TobaccoFindings.org

In the early 1990s began a collaboration between Lars Ramström at ITS and Torsten Österman at FSI regarding studies related to patterns of tobacco use in the Swedish population. Lars Ramström and ITS was in charge of the study design and data analysis while FSI accounted for the methodological and practical implementation of the data collection. In 2004 FSI establishing a part-time position for Tobacco Studies. Since 2008, this was a fulltime position entirely focused on tobacco studies in collaboration with Lars Ramstrom, ITS.

Over the years the cooperation increased and after co-produced several joint products a common platform for the cooperation was established in terms of a website named TobaccoFindings.org

Since April 2014 TobaccoFindings.org is run by ITS and LiQuSa-research.
