About TobaccoFree Research Institute Ireland (TFRI)
The TobaccoFree Research Institute Ireland (TFRI) is a registered charity (CRA No. 20046910) and limited company (Co Reg. No. 351908) formed on the basis of a partnership between the Office of Tobacco Control and ASH Ireland and its parent organisations: The Irish Cancer Society and The Irish Heart Foundation. TFRI is registered in Ireland at DIT, Kevin Street, Focas Research Institute, Dublin 8.
TFRI is a non-partisan, independent, trans-disciplinary research centre focused around the issues of tobacco dependence and tobacco control. Our institute brings together researchers in the broad fields of public health, respiratory health, epidemiology, addiction studies, psychology, and social sciences who share an interest in tobacco related issues. We work to conduct and disseminate topical, socially relevant, ethically sound scientific research to fellow academics, policy makers and the general public.
TFRI has four core research areas:
1. Treatment of Tobacco Dependence: We conduct research into various methods of treating of tobacco dependence and work towards developing practical recommendations on the topic for practitioners and policy makers.
2. Health Inequalities: Our research focuses on the role of tobacco plays in heightening health and social inequalities.
3. Smoke Free Areas: We work to examine the exposure to and health effects of Second Hand Smoke and promote the implementation of smoke free areas where appropriate.
4. Tobacco Control Policy: Underpinning all of our work is the desire to inform government and health policy through the development and dissemination of sound evidenced-based research on the topics of tobacco control and tobacco dependence.
Our work has informed the implementation of several key pieces of Irish tobacco control legislation including, most notably, the Irish Work Place Smoke Ban in 2004. We went on to advise the national health services of several European countries including Scotland, France, Spain, Sweden, and Turkey on the introduction of Smokefree laws.
At the international level, we have collaborated on several European tobacco control projects and were the coordinating partner for the FP7 project Pricing Policies and Control of Tobacco in Europe (PPACTE).
