This white paper, prepared for the American Academy of Emergency Medicine, evaluates the emergency department (ED) management of nicotine use, including screening, cessation interventions, and pharmacotherapy options applicable in the acute care setting.
As a white paper rather than a primary research study, findings reflect expert consensus and existing literature rather than original clinical trial data; no primary outcome data or sample size are reported.
Emergency clinicians should consider integrating nicotine use screening and cessation support — including pharmacotherapy — into routine ED care. This white paper provides a framework endorsed by the American Academy of Emergency Medicine to guide that practice.
