Healio (1/19, Miller) reports the USPSTF “recommended that clinicians ask all adults about tobacco use and provide them with behavioral interventions and even FDA-approved pharmacotherapy to help them quit smoking.” The USPSTF wrote in JAMA that the A-level recommendation is consistent with the agency’s 2015 recommendation, but incorporated “newer evidence and language in the field of tobacco cessation, including new evidence on the harms of e-cigarettes.”
MedPage Today (1/19, Boyles) also covers the story.
