Synthesizing the latest research and literature, Treating Addiction to Tobacco and Nicotine Products provides a comprehensive analysis of assessing and treating tobacco use disorder.Smoking rates have declined for decades, yet smoking remains the leading cause of preventable death in the United States, responsible for more 400,000 premature deaths annually in this country and more than 4.9 million deaths worldwide.

Featuring numerous case vignettes that bring the topics to life, this volume covers:

* Trends in cigarette smoking and its associated harms

* Patterns of use, addictiveness, and health effects of non-cigarette tobacco products, including e-cigarettes, cigars, and pipes

* Assessing tobacco use disorder

* Behavioral and pharmacological interventions for tobacco use disorder

* The need for systems change in health care settings

Special emphasis is placed on individuals with mental illness, who are disproportionately represented among users of tobacco products. The book explores tobacco use in this population and explains the impact of this comorbidity on treatment and cessation.

With summary key points at the end of each chapter to distill clinical highlights, Treating Addiction to Tobacco and Nicotine Products is an essential resource for busy clinicians across various health care disciplines.
