With over a thousand members, including many of the top experts on nicotine and tobacco from over 20 countries around the world, the Society for Research on Nicotine and Tobacco's mission is to stimulate the generation of new knowledge concerning nicotine in all its manifestations - from molecular to societal. The Society has the following goals: 1. To sponsor scientific meetings and publications fostering the exchange of information on the biological, behavioral, social, and economic effects of nicotine; these activities shall include basic research and research on mechanisms of action and the use of nicotine as a probe for studying nervous systems function as well as applied research on the behavioral and pharmacological aspects of tobacco use, nicotine dependence, the therapeutic uses of nicotine, and related areas. 2. To encourage scientific research on public health efforts for the prevention and treatment of cigarette and tobacco use. 3. To provide the means by which various legislative, governmental, regulatory, and other public agencies and the ethical drug industry can obtain expert advice and consultation on critical issues concerning tobacco use, nicotine dependence, and the therapeutic uses of nicotine. Membership dues will be used to plan an annual meeting, to publish a newsletter, to compile a directory, to conduct advocacy and liaison activities for nicotine research, and to begin work on professional publications such as a journal. Though the Society will meet at least once per year in North America and will be incorporated in the United States, the intent is to be international in scope, with co-sponsorship of meetings in other countries and active recruitment of members outside the United States. By clicking on the various links on the website you can gain access to further information about the society, its publications, activities and membership. In 2004, the Society for Research on Nicotine and Tobacco celebrated the tenth anniversary of its founding. During its first decade, the Society grew from around 100 to over 900 members, sponsored well-attended annual meetings and highly-influential satellite conferences to promote research, provided timely electronic and print services to increase the flow of information, and founded a new peer-reviewed journal (Nicotine and Tobacco Research: The Journal of SRNT) to facilitate communication of scientific advances. The record documents considerable progress in meeting the objective of the Society to stimulate new knowledge about nicotine in all its manifestations. As part of SRNT's Decade One celebration, two projects were developed to commemorate its achievements and help preserve its collective memory. The first is an article by two past presidents, Ovide Pomerleau and John Hughes, entitled With a little help from its friends: A brief history of the Society for Research on Nicotine and Tobacco, published in the Societys journal, Nicotine and Tobacco Research. The second is a series of e-interviews with each of SRNTs first ten presidents. A brief structured interview was designed, and the former presidents were invited to respond in writing to each question in as little or as much detail as desired. An open-ended question was provided at the end to allow for more free-form commentary. The results of this effort can be accessed via the links below.
