- 20 June 2017
Tobacco remains the leading preventable cause of death in the United States, and disproportionately affects people with mental illness. E-cigarette use is increasing in the United States and people with mental illness are reporting use that is greater than the general population. Psychiatrists are being faced with questions about use and risks regularly or are often unsure what to recommend to patients.
This webinar will summarize tobacco use among those with mental illness, discuss e-cigarettes, and summarize the most recent recommendations on risks and safety. We will also discuss tobacco cessation as well as offer concrete resources and recommendations to viewers.
