  • Title: Tobacco and its trendy alternatives: implications for pediatric nurses.
    Author: Deckers SK, Farley J, Heath J.
    Journal: Crit Care Nurs Clin North Am; 2006 Mar; 18(1):95-104, xiii. PubMed ID: 16546012.
    Abstract:
    Although acute and critical care pediatric nurses may not rank tobacco prevention and cessation among their top patient-care priorities, the importance of providing health education, especially during vulnerable moments, cannot be overlooked. This article provides an overview of trendy tobacco alternatives, such as bidis, clove cigarettes, hookah pipes, and smokeless tobacco, that entice youth. The significant health consequences of these tobacco products and the implications for pediatric acute and critical care nursing practice are also discussed.
