Most people will not be particularly interested in searching through the thousands of publicly available tobacco industry documents. These sites are of most interest to serious tobacco control researchers, lawyers and others heavily involved in tobacco control advocacy.

This list is not intended to be exhaustive. Most of the links listed here provide links to other repositories of tobacco industry documents - some are very comprehensive.

These sites use different search strategies - be sure to read the search instructions carefully before starting.
