The use of electronic cigarette delivery systems (ENDS) has become a stepping stone for smokers in their cessation of tobacco use. Students within the pharmacy curricula and other healthcare programs have expressed varying responses as to how likely they are to recommend ENDS based on their knowledge of these devices. Due to varying degrees of education given on these products, student pharmacists responded with a greater sense of negativity in the recommendation of ENDS to current cigarette smokers. This commentary suggests why student pharmacists embody such recommendations and how students within the healthcare curricula require more adequate ENDS education in order to not recommend these products.
