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.

The significant health consequences of these tobacco products and the implications for pediatric acute and critical care nursing practice are also discussed.
