This lecture for physiotherapists who want to increase their knowledge about e-cigarettes, their health impacts and their potential risks and benefits as a smoking cessation tool. This lecture aims to provide insights into both sides of the public health debate, the regulatory framework for e-cigarettes in Australia, and clinical guidelines for smoking cessation and e-cigarettes for physiotherapists working in Australia.
Dr Nia Luxton graduated from University of Ulster in 1993, and after travelling the world working in many different areas of physiotherapy, she specialised in physiotherapy in acute and chronic cardiorespiratory diseases in the Royal Brompton Hospital, London.
