Smoking Cessation: It All Begins and Ends with Your Patient

Join our discussion to “clear the air” on how to best improve and save the lives of our patients currently smoking or vaping.

About this webinar

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 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.

At the conclusion of this continuing education activity, the participant will be able to:

Identify the pharmacology of nicotine and respective milligrams of nicotine in traditional tobacco products, electronic cigarettes, and vaping devices
Recall pharmacological properties of both over-the-counter (OTC) and prescription nicotine replacement therapies in respect to products, dosage, and administration
