Hi Paige,
Thanks for you question regarding seniors and smoking and thank you for pointing out this gap in guidelines.  Addressing smoking in older adults is an important area for continued research and is a greatly underserved population. 
Does anyone know of any research on seniors and smoking cessation?

I am planning on leading 2 focus groups within the next couple of weeks.  The goal is raise awareness about smoking in seniors.  Does anyone have suggestions on questions to ask the group of seniors that do not smoke and the group of seniors that do smoke?
Thanks
