Summary
Tobacco smoking rates are much higher in people who are in treatment or recovery for a substance use disorder (SUD) and/or mental health condition. Dependence on tobacco is a medical condition, though one that has historically been overlooked in both drug and alcohol and mental health settings. Smoking has a negative impact on substance use and mental health outcomes and contributes to the shorter life span these groups experience. In this chapter the importance of understanding the difference between tobacco and nicotine is discussed, and the prevalence of tobacco smoking and its impact on the health of people with a SUD and/or mental health condition is reviewed. A brief overview of population-level interventions is provided and a detailed section on individual-level interventions to help people quit smoking.
