Commercial tobacco use is still the number one cause of preventable death and individuals with behavioral health conditions and substance abuse disorders have significantly higher rates of tobacco use in comparison to the overall population. Tobacco Use Disorder is underdiagnosed and undertreated and continued tobacco use can interfere with treatment plans.
This webinar, brought to you by the South Dakota QuitLine, covers the disparity of tobacco use among those with a behavioral health condition, the treatment of Tobacco Use Disorder and cessation resources that are available for patients and clients.
