“…Although there have been important successes in smoking prevention (Mermelstein 2003), these efforts do not address the needs of youth who smoke and want to quit. Consistently, there remains a critical need for effective and adoptable teen smoking cessation interventions (Houston et al 1998;Lamkin et al 1998;Sussman 2002).…”

Public health researchers and practitioners emphasize the need for effective, adoptable, and available youth smoking cessation interventions. Scarce resources demand that such interventions also be cost effective. This study describes a cost-effectiveness analysis (CEA) of the American Lung Association's Not On Tobacco (N-O-T) national and international teen smoking cessation program. N-O-T has been rigorously evaluated as an effective and adoptable program, and was recently found to be the most frequently-used teen smoking cessation program in the nation. N-O-T studies show intent-to-treat quit rates between 15% and 19%, among the highest reported in the literature. The current CEA resulted from a 2-year state-wide demonstration study in Florida, comparing the effectiveness of N-O-T with a 20-min brief intervention (BI). The CEA utilized a Markov transition model of decision analysis to explain stage progression of smoking cessation among participants from the age of 17 to 25 years. The Markov simulation predicted that out of a cohort of 100 N-O-T students, 10 will quit smoking and remain smoke-free at the age of 25 years and 14 will reduce smoking, resulting in 102.22 life years saved and a total of 20.11 years discounted life years (DLY) saved. Among BI youth, six will quit smoking and nine will reduce, indicating 64.31 life years saved and a total 12.65 DLY saved. The incremental DLY saved is 7.46 years. Results indicate that N-O-T is a very cost-effective option school-based smoking cessation, as cost effective as school-based primary tobacco prevention, and potentially more cost effective than adult tobacco use cessation.

“…There has been a dramatic increase over the past decade in the numbers of college-age smokers [8]. Based on recent studies the prevalence of smoking increases from the first year to the final year among university students, which underlines the fact that the early years at university are important for targeting anti-smoking activities [9,10].…”

This study in 2010 determined the prevalence of smoking and its associated factors among universities students in Shahroud located in the North Eastern of Iran. 1800 students were selected randomly among 20000 students of Shahroud universities, to complete a questionnaire Which was prepared based on the Global Youth Tobacco Survey. The prevalence of current smoking was 20% (80% male and 20% female). The most important factors in the tendency to smoking were: friends smoking, stress, separation from family and fun.

“…There have, however, been some promising developments in terms of the need for structured adolescent smoking cessation (Sussman, Ping, & Dent, 2006), especially given that few adolescents stop smoking on their own accord . Most adolescents who smoke occasionally are aware of the dangers of smoking (Engels, Knibbe, de Vries, & Drop, 1998) and report they intend to quit smoking within 5 years of graduation from high school, yet only half achieve this goal (Houston, Kolbe, & Eriksen, 1998), and multiple quit attempts are common (Lamkin, Davis, & Kamen, 1998). There exists an unequivocal need for evidence-based adolescent smoking cessation programs, with growing evidence suggesting that these programs are effective .…”

Translating an Adolescent Smoking Cessation Program Into Policy and Practice in an Australian Context

et al. 2008

Although Australia's restrictive tobacco control policies have made it an international leader in reducing smoking prevalence, and only 7% of teens smoke weekly, cessation efforts are still needed among adolescents. Of the campaigns and programs implemented in Australia to reduce this problem among adolescents, most have provided only abstinence messages and few have been effectively evaluated and translated into policy and practice. This article describes the translation of a harm minimization cessation program for teens, the Smoking Cessation for Youth Project (SCYP), derived from an approach developed with adults. In addition, the article describes the unique sociopolitical context of Australia in which the SCYP program was developed and the significant conceptual, contextual, and methodological factors that enabled and limited this program's effective implementation and translation.
