Smoking Cessation: It All Begins and Ends with Your Patient
Learn how to effectively educate and guide patients on smoking cessation and vaping. Understand the mindset, products, and available cessation agents to make impactful conversations with patients. Save lives!

About this course
Every single U.S. Surgeon General has stated that one of the most pivotal and impactful healthcare professional efforts is educating and guiding patients around smoking cessation. Given that half a million Americans die from tobacco-related concerns every single year, this topic is perhaps of the largest concern for every single healthcare professional in our country. However, clinicians often juggle intense schedules and countless distractions while trying to provide patient care, and need efficient strategies and accessible information to help patients. Our country has not had a U.S. Surgeon General over the past few decades to avoid the general theme of smoking cessation being the single most important effort to discuss with respective patients. Can, or should, vaping be utilized as smoking cessation? To answer this question, and countless others, we as healthcare professionals truly need to understand the mindset of someone choosing to smoke tobacco or vape, along with the products being utilized, and the available cessation agents, to ultimately even attempt to have continual and impactful conversations with our patients. Join our discussion to “clear the air” on how to best improve and save the lives of our patients currently smoking or vaping.

Real reviews, real results
I am always interested in continuing education in the areas of health, wellness, nutrition and mental health. Your course was well written, well organized and helpful in meeting state licensure requirements.
Very well written, easy to digest, time efficient, and straight to the point. Thank you!
I appreciate the convenience of the course being online and accessible through my phone and that it directly reports to CEBroker to support mandated education requirements.
I really loved this information. I was hospitalized last year for almost a month and I noticed multiple medical errors (not being hooked up to my IV multiple times, given wrong medication which caused my sodium to be very low, etc.) which lengthened my stay. I can now define those exact errors and better understand what happened to me. I hate that these medical errors are so common and I appreciate how well laid out your breakdown and categorization of them was.
I am always looking for concise ,thorough, and up to date continuing education, and this course provided exactly what I was looking for. Thank you
Enjoyed this course! It squarely met my license renewal requirement as a physician. It was well-written, and an altogether enjoyable read.
