This Clinical Best Practice Guideline (BPG) is to replace the RNAO (2007) BPG Integrating Smoking Cessation into Daily Nursing Practice (Second Edition). This BPG provides direction to nurses and other health-care providers to support individuals who use tobacco in all care settings. The implementation of the evidence-based recommendations provided in this BPG will enhance the health-care providers' provision of quality care to clients who use tobacco and also improve clinical outcomes.

This guideline does not describe in-depth interventions for special populations such as youth, although the recommendations may also be applied to this group.
