Tobacco Use Disorder

Explore courses and resources designed to help healthcare providers build knowledge and clinical skills for treating patients with tobacco use disorder.


About the Education

Misconceptions about tobacco use disorder (TUD) have led some clinicians to believe that addressing it may interfere with treatment for other substance use disorders (SUDs). Research shows that treating TUD alongside other SUDs improves overall outcomes. Continued tobacco use is linked to poorer treatment results, including a higher risk of return to substance use. Integrating tobacco treatment into addiction care promotes recovery and reduces the well-documented harms of ongoing tobacco use, including disease and tobacco-related death. By addressing common misconceptions and highlighting effective treatment options, this education helps clinicians improve outcomes for patients. 

The Treatment of Tobacco Use Disorder in Clinical Practice course is designed for healthcare professionals seeking to strengthen their knowledge and clinical application of tobacco treatment. The course explores the historical, biological, and social foundations of TUD and equips learners with tools for assessment, diagnosis, and treatment—including both pharmacologic and behavioral strategies. Learners will examine the relationship between TUD and co-occurring conditions, especially other SUDs, and learn to apply integrated care principles. Through case-based activities and practical resources, participants will gain the skills to support tobacco recovery in a wide range of healthcare settings.
