Wondering about the psychiatrist’s role in smoking cessation from inpatients to whole populations

摘要

Given an interest in population health, I was delighted that Dr. Scott Patten agreed to provide us, within this issue of the Journal, an epidemiological snapshot of vaping in young people in Canada, raising important and related mental health questions (Patten, 2021). In this same issue, we have a report from a study of a psychiatric inpatient sample of youth in Finland in which Lantto and colleagues (2021) examined the relationship between nicotine dependence and violent offending after hospital discharge.
