parents were smokers who died of
lung cancer. I’ve tried all the meds

smoking

Screening challenges
Binge drinkers frequently smoke
May present themselves as nonsmokers
Need to screen specifically (only smokes
when drinks)
Vapor pens = e-cigarettes
Also e-hookah, vapes, sticks, hookah pens
Recreational use common
Young adults have highest rates of use
May lead to or increase nicotine addiction
