Tobacco use is common among people with mental health disorders and most are not motivated to quit in the near future. Quitting smoking is often the single best thing a patient can do for their health but tobacco treatment is often a low priority for patients with co-occurring mental health disorders. In this presentation we will review the research on tobacco treatment and harm reduction for people with co-occurring mental health disorders who are unmotivated or feel unable to quit.
