	How to Talk with Patients about Smoking Cessation and Anxiety The relationship between anxiety and smoking is a significant concern among health professionals. Smokers often use cigarettes to help them manage anxiety. This reliance on cigarettes to reduce anxiety can keep smokers from even trying to quit. And if they do quit, anxiety can trigger relapse. This webinar will address key strategies to help smokers with anxiety to quit. This activity is an archived recording of a live webinar and is 1 hour in length.

Activity Description
The relationship between anxiety and smoking is a significant concern among health professionals. Smokers often use cigarettes to help them manage anxiety. This reliance on cigarettes to reduce anxiety can keep smokers from even trying to quit. And if they do quit, anxiety can trigger relapse. This activity will address key strategies to help smokers with anxiety to quit.

This activity is an archived recording of a live webinar and is 1 hour in length.

Educational Objectives
Following completion of this educational activity, learners should be able to:

Discuss the evidence regarding tobacco use among patients with anxiety

Talk with patients or clients about the relationship between anxiety and tobacco cessation

Identify and implement evidence-based treatment for treating tobacco dependence

Statement of Need
There are treatment gaps in clinical practice surrounding smoking cessation and anxiety. Many clinicians lack time, resources, and knowledge to talk with their patients about the health effects of tobacco use, how to quit and stay quit, and where to refer them for additional help. As a result, there are missed opportunities to provide effective cessation treatment to those who would benefit from quitting smoking. This course addresses the gaps in treatment by providing clinicians with practical tips and tools on how to address tobacco use with smokers with anxiety.
