(Ebook) Tobacco Dependence: A Comprehensive Guide to Prevention and Treatment by Michelle N. Eakin (Editor), Hasmeena Kathuria (Editor) ISBN 9783031249136, 3031249135

This book will follow current trends in tobacco research and clinical practice by focusing on (1) the impact of tobacco products on health and health disparities, and (2) guidelines for treatment of tobacco dependence, including non pharmacologic approaches and pharmacotherapy. The recent American Thoracic Society clinical practice guidelines on initiating pharmacotherapy for tobacco dependence will be the cornerstone for a robust discussion of recommended treatment options and how to tailor treatment to specific patient populations and settings. Given the dramatic increase of youth electronic cigarette use, we will discuss current research on the health effects of vaping and associated flavorings including menthol products, and the treatment of adolescent nicotine dependence. We will conclude with a discussion on promoting training and education in tobacco dependence, increasing access to treatment, and specific tobacco control and tobacco treatment policies to improve overall public health.
