We are delighted to announce that Associate Professor Marita Hefler from the Menzies School of Health Research at Charles Darwin University (Australia) has been appointed as the incoming Editor-in-Chief for Tobacco Control. Dr Hefler will officially start her term in January 2024. She will replace Professor Ruth Malone, a distinguished tobacco control leader who has been EIC since 2009. We thank Ruth for her many years of exceptional leadership.

Marita has nearly 20 years’ experience in tobacco control, with a particular focus on equity and pathways to achieving the commercial tobacco endgame. Her research also includes approaches to reduce smoking among First Nations peoples in Australia, use of social media in tobacco control, tobacco industry monitoring, smoke-free prisons, smoking cessation support in hospitals, and youth smoking prevention.
