Webinar Objectives

Tobacco product use is the leading cause of disease, disability, and death in the United States. The risks of tobacco product use
have been compounded by the COVID-19 pandemic, with emerging data showing that current and former cigarette smokers are at

of the science with regard to COVID-19 outcomes and tobacco product use, including cigarette smoking and e-cigarette use. The
speaker will also provide participants with information about evidence-based strategies to prevent and reduce tobacco product
use, including resources for healthcare providers and the general public.

At the end of the webinar, you will be able to:

  1. Describe the adverse health effects of tobacco product use in the United States, as well as disparities in use across population
    groups.
  2. Discuss the state of the science with regard to COVID-19 outcomes and tobacco product use, including cigarette smoking and
    e-cigarette use.
  3. Explain clinical and public health approaches to prevent and reduce tobacco product use, including during the COVID-19 pandemic.
