Guiding Principles of The NTCC

All activities undertaken by this collaborative will follow seven guiding principles:

  1. All activities will be based on the best scientific evidence currently available.
  2. Coordinated efforts will be needed to make the largest impact.
  3. Multiple parties (public and private) will need to collaborate to make progress.
  4. Increasing tobacco cessation will require eliminating barriers and facilitating changes.
  5. The best available dissemination techniques should be used to successfully implement key strategies.
  6. Implementation must be evaluated.
  7. Research to identify more effective tobacco-use cessation interventions, and methods for disseminating them, should be supported.

    “For the child whose impulsiveness is indulged, who retains his primitive-discharge mechanisms, is not only an ill-behaved child but a child whose intellectual development is slowed down. No matter how well he is endowed intellectually, if direct action and immediate gratification are the guiding principles of his behavior, there will be less incentive to develop the higher mental processes, to reason, to employ the imagination creatively. . . .”
    —Selma H. Fraiberg (20th century)
