| The first 150 words of the full text of this article appear below. |
In 1997, Tobacco Control devoted its Autumn issue to papers examining aspects of tobacco control and aging. We joined nearly 100 other journals in a globally coordinated effort to highlight research and policy issues arising in the field of aging.1 2 In 1999, we have again agreed to participate in a similar publishing exercise. This time, following votes from the editors of 89 journals, the global theme will explore the impact of new technologies in medicine.
There are many and diverse examples of the developing or actual use of technology in tobacco control. Some that occur to us are the following.
- The use of the world wide web and the internet

exposure
- New drugs
