The International pharmaceutical
Federation (FIP) has published
a new guideline, ‘Establishing
tobacco-free communities: a
practical guide for pharmacists’.
The new document “aims to
make visible the contributions of
pharmacists” when supporting
people to live a smoke-free
lifestyle, and includes helpful hints
for pharmacists to assess a person’s
nicotine dependency, readiness to
quit and follow-up plans.
“Pharmacists are supporters and
facilitators of the entire smoking
cessation process,” said Mrudula
Naidu, who contributed to the
development of the document.
“This is of huge value in providing
much needed continuous support
to people who have decided to be
healthier.”The above article was sent to subscribers in Pharmacy Daily's issue from 17 Dec 15 To see the full newsletter, see the embedded issue below or CLICK HERE to download Pharmacy Daily from 17 Dec 15
