Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Adolescent tobacco users are unique. Thus far, effective interventions for adult tobacco users have been disappointing when applied to adolescents. This article reviews current evidence regarding adolescent tobacco use cessation interventions, explores under-researched areas in tobacco use cessation for adolescents, and offers assistance with treating adolescent tobacco users across the spectrum of use. A means of assessment and treatment of the adolescent smoker is proposed, and cases are included to assist the practitioner with treatment of the experimental tobacco user, the "adolescent-type" intermittent user, and the daily "adult-type" of adolescent tobacco user.
