CE Course Description


Tobacco use remains the leading preventable cause of death worldwide and people with mental illness are disproportionately affected with high smoking prevalence.  This CE course reviews the determinants of tobacco use among smokers with mental illness, identifies the significant harms incurred, and looks at opportunities for prevention and intervention within a health care system and larger health policy perspective.
