Smoking tobacco cigarettes undoubtedly has many detrimental effects on human health but according to research, there has been a decline in the sale of tobacco cigarettes over the last decade, and an upward curve in the sales of alternative products such as e-cigarettes and vapes, which hold equal dangers to human health.
When it comes to research on substance use such as cigarettes and other tobacco products known as Electronic Nicotine Delivery Systems (ENDS), a company known as CSUR remains one of the forerunners in the country.

CSUR is a multi-disciplinary research agency providing behavioural science support to companies submitting applications for PMTA, MRTP and TPD approval. Based in Woodside, Glasgow, the company offers a wide variety of services including analytical services, presentation of research findings, research programme design and regulatory submission, to name a few.

After many modern medics linked tobacco smoking with lung cancer, heart disease, chronic bronchitis, emphysema and other diseases, intensive campaigns have been launched in many countries to limit the use and marketing of tobacco, and the UK is no exception. What initially started as part of the University of Glasgow's research division, later led to the establishment of CSUR as an independent research company, where the aim is to research trends and share their findings on open platforms.

Through thorough and intensive tobacco research studies there are alternative uses of tobacco that are less harmful and that people's perceptions about the use of tobacco need to be radically changed, to promote better health.

The relationship of tobacco's chemical composition with the physical properties of the leaf and the smell and aroma of smoke, alongside the impact of ENDS, have long been researched to determine people's dependence on it and to find better solutions that have less harmful effects on human health.

About us: CSUR is a Global Leader on Behavioural Science in Tobacco Harm Reduction, operating from their base at the Centre for Substance Use Research Ltd in Glasgow. CSUR opened in 1994 linked initially to the University of Glasgow, and in 2011 CSUR became a wholly independent research centre focussing on a wider range of substance use issues and developing a large programme of behaviourally focussed regulatory science research assessing the contribution of ENDS in reducing tobacco-related health harm. Our team comprises post-doctoral researchers in behavioural science, experts in marketing, cybersecurity, and media. Our focus is on furthering the goals of tobacco-related harm reduction and assessing the public health impact of Electronic Nicotine Delivery Systems (ENDS) and our goal is to ensure that those working within these industries have access to high-quality behavioural research that can further their owns goals of reducing the harms associated with the use of combustible tobacco products.
