Summary

USPSTF 2021 recommends clinicians ask all adults, including pregnant persons, about tobacco use, advise cessation, and provide interventions (Grade A). Nonpregnant adults should receive both behavioral counseling and FDA-approved pharmacotherapy (NRT, bupropion SR, varenicline); pregnant persons should receive behavioral counseling. Evidence is insufficient (I statement) for pharmacotherapy in pregnancy and for e-cigarettes as a cessation aid in any adult. Recommendations are consistent with the 2015 statement, with new commentary on e-cigarettes and the 2019 EVALI outbreak.
