“Ask the Expert” Tobacco Cessation Podcasts Available

In an effort to help physicians guide patients on the path to tobacco cessation, the AAFP has developed podcasts are now available online.

ASK and ACT, a tobacco cessation program, and the AAFP have partnered together to create five different podcasts to help physicians get the tools they need to help their patients become tobacco free.

Topics include “Pharmacotherapy for Tobacco Dependence”, "New Public Health Service Clinical Practice Guidelines", "Tobacco Cessation Quitlines", "How to Provide Tobacco Cessation Treatment to Patients with Mental Illness", and “Payment for Tobacco Cessation Treatment.” These expert interview podcasts are great tools for all physicians seeking to help stop tobacco use by their patients. 

Each podcast is approximately 10-15 minutes long. These great resources are available to listen or download on the AAFP Web site.
