Abstract

<p>Objective: We conducted a survey to understand the opinions of doctors in charge of smoking cessation outpatients regarding the sale of heat-not-burn tobacco at pharmacies and smoking cessation support for heatnot-burn tobacco users.</p><p>Methods: A questionnaire survey was distributed to 200 doctors in charge of smoking cessation outpatients.</p><p>Results: The questionnaire response rate was 37.0% (74/200 doctors). Approximately 30% of doctors felt that heat-not-burn tobacco is less harmful than cigarettes. There were 19 doctors (25.7%) who considered heatnot-burn tobacco to affect disease control by medications. The doctors thought that the sale of heat-not-burn tobacco at pharmacies should be restricted. In addition, the doctors thought that pharmacy pharmacists should support smoking cessation for heat-not-burn tobacco users.</p><p>Conclusion: As it is becoming common to provide smoking cessation support for heat-not-burn tobacco users, doctors are requesting the support of pharmacy pharmacists.</p>
