Best Practices for Nicotine Cessation
July 23, 2025 | 8:00 am to 9:00 am
New nicotine delivery systems, policies and evidence are evolving to include nicotine pouches, ‘heat sticks’, and vaping products. Family physicians may be unfamiliar with emerging products and evidence and unable to provide guidance to patients. During this session, our panelists will review these products and discuss the best advice for smoking cessation and harm reduction for patients who are not interested in quitting smoking.
