Abstract
Background
Smoking is a leading preventable cause of disease, with vaping creating new public health concerns. This review synthesised evidence on interventions and strategies to integrate cessation care into primary healthcare.
Methods
We conducted a systematic scoping review of PubMed and EMBASE for studies published between 19 September 2020 and 19 September 2024. Eligible studies evaluated smoking and/or vaping cessation interventions or implementation strategies in primary care settings in high-income countries (Australia, Canada, EU, UK, USA). Two reviewers independently extracted data on study characteristics, intervention types, outcomes, and abstinence verification.
