| Popis: | From the Editorialists: We thank Drs. Soriano and Morera for supporting the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute’s (NHLBI’s) recent Strategic Visioning effort to collectively identify the greatest unmet needs in heart, lung, blood, and sleep research (1). They are correct in noting the central role tobacco plays in many diseases that fall within the mission of the NHLBI. We are also grateful to Dr. Jiminez-Ruiz and colleagues from the European Respiratory Society's Tobacco Control Committee for their thoughtful letter and key literature highlighting the importance of strategies for the effective prevention and treatment of tobacco use to foster and preserve human health. The points made in these letters illustrate the kind of feedback we hope to receive from the research community on this and other topics as we move to shape future research priorities. The NHLBI will certainly consider mission-specific compelling questions and critical challenges identified through this process relating to tobacco and its adverse effects on heart, lung, blood, and sleep health. The NHLBI’s new Strategic Visioning forum (http://nhlbistrategicvisioning.ideascale.com/) provides the broad stakeholder community an opportunity to engage in real-time conversations around topics for the NHLBI to address over the next decade, including tobacco and many other important issues. We encourage our communities to actively participate in this novel process to shape our future research directions. We believe that joint efforts by the NHLBI and the research, patient, and provider communities will bring optimal and sustained cardiopulmonary health within reach, with the potential to improve the lives of millions of individuals. |
