The annual Nicotine Addiction and Smoking Cessation Update Day is organised by the APSAD Smoking and Vaping Cessation Professionals Special Interest Group (ASVCP-SIG) and provides an important avenue for the dissemination and discussion of the latest evidence-based research and best practice approaches in the treatment of nicotine dependence and smoking and vaping cessation. The Nicotine Addiction and Smoking Cessation Update Day is open to all workers who are interested in enhancing their knowledge around tobacco cessation, electronic nicotine delivery systems, and the latest evidence-based treatment interventions. Speakers and program will be announced in the coming months.

The Perinatal Substance Exposures Special Interest Group post-conference event is planned to promote awareness, research, and clinical practice to help prevent perinatal substance exposure, respond to the needs of pregnant and parenting people and effectively support children, adolescents and adults affected by perinatal substance exposures. The post-conference workshop aims to be an inclusive event open to a wide range of people including researchers, clinicians, students, people with living experience, advocacy groups and community members with an interest in the area.
