The California Smokers’ Helpline is pleased to host this free webinar, How to Talk with Patients About Smoking Cessation and Asthma on Wednesday, May 25 from noon to 1 pm PST.
The relationship between asthma and smoking is a significant concern among health professionals. Asthma disproportionately affects smokers. Tobacco smoke is one of the most common asthma triggers and can increase the severity of attacks. Secondhand smoke is also a risk factor for new cases of asthma, especially among preschool aged children who have not already exhibited asthma symptoms. This webinar will address key strategies to help smokers with asthma to quit.
The following continuing education credits are being offered for this course: CA BBS, APA, CCAPP, CAADE, and CME.
Target Audience
This course is designed for primary care providers and behavioral health professionals interested in the most current research surrounding smoking cessation and asthma.
Objectives
At the conclusion of this activity, participants should be able to:
- Discuss the evidence regarding tobacco use among patients with asthma
- Talk with patients or clients about the relationship between asthma and tobacco cessation
- Identify and implement evidence-based treatment for treating tobacco dependence
