Subject: Final Recommendation Statement: Interventions for Tobacco Smoking Cessation in Adults, Including Pregnant Persons
| | Final Recommendation Statement: Interventions for Tobacco Cessation in Adults | Final Recommendation Statement: Interventions for Tobacco Smoking Cessation in Adults, Including Pregnant Persons The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force released today a final recommendation statement on interventions for tobacco smoking cessation in adults, including pregnant persons. The Task Force recommends clinicians ask about tobacco use and connect people to proven, safe methods to help them quit. The evidence is unclear whether e-cigarettes help adults quit smoking. More research is needed on the benefits and harms of using medications to help pregnant people quit. To view the recommendation, the evidence on which it is based, and a summary for clinicians, please go here. The final recommendation statement can also be found in the January 19, 2021 online issue of JAMA. | | | 
The Final Recommendation Statement Is Available | | | FINAL RECOMMENDATION SUMMARY | | | | | | | | | | | The USPSTF recommends that clinicians ask all adults about tobacco use, advise them to stop using tobacco, and provide behavioral interventions and US Food and Drug Administration (FDA)--approved pharmacotherapy for cessation to nonpregnant adults who use tobacco. | | | | | | | The USPSTF recommends that clinicians ask all pregnant persons about tobacco use, advise them to stop using tobacco, and provide behavioral interventions for cessation to pregnant persons who use tobacco. | | | | | | The USPSTF concludes that the current evidence is insufficient to assess the balance of benefits and harms of pharmacotherapy interventions for tobacco cessation in pregnant persons. | | | | | | he USPSTF concludes that the current evidence is insufficient to assess the balance of benefits and harms of electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes) for tobacco cessation in adults, including pregnant persons. The USPSTF recommends that clinicians direct patients who use tobacco to other tobacco cessation interventions with proven effectiveness and established safety. | | | | | | |  "Quitting is the most important step a smoker can take to lead a longer and healthier life,” says Task Force member Michael Silverstein, M.D., M.P.H. “The good news is there are multiple safe and proven ways to help adults quit tobacco, including counseling, medications, or a combination of both.” | | | WHERE WE ARE IN THE PROCESS | | | Draft Research Plan | | Final Research Plan | | Draft Recommendation / Draft Evidence Review | | Final Recommendation / Evidence Summary | | | | | |
