Primary care-relevant interventions for tobacco and nicotine use prevention and cessation in children and adolescents: updated evidence report and systematic review for the US Preventive Services Task Force.

The objective of this study was to update the 2013 review on primary care-relevant interventions for tobacco use prevention and cessation in children and adolescents to inform the US Preventive Services Task Force.

Behavioral and pharmacotherapy interventions for tobacco smoking cessation in adults, including pregnant women.
This case study involves a 40-year-old woman presenting for a routine antepartum visit. She is 20 weeks pregnant and smokes half a pack of cigarettes per day. She asks if your clinic offers services to help with tobacco smoking cessation and if she should try using e-cigarettes to stop smoking. The authors next pose three multiple choice questions and then give the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force recommendations and related background information.
