Written by Sarah Valentine, FM R2 in Victoria, BC Expert Review by Dr Jankowski, Addictions physician in Victoria, BC  While this topic doesn't have very many objectives to cover, we're dedicating an entire episode to it given cigarette smoking remains Canada's #1 preventable cause of death and disease (https://www.cmaj.ca/content/197/28/E846).
