Abstract

Several distinctive factors support the argument for developmentally appropriate youth tobacco cessation programs, including the science of adolescents’ evolving brains, as well as the incidence and risks of adolescent tobacco use, and its endemic nature in adolescent milieus and culture. This paper utilizes these factors and insights from the Youth Tobacco Awareness Program (YTAP), a cognitive-behavioral adolescent tobacco cessation program, to support 5 opportunities for developmentally and ecological-based tobacco cessation programs for youth. These opportunities include the continuing need for tobacco cessation, adolescents’ desire to quit tobacco, the need for effective youth tobacco cessation strategies amid broader-based community efforts, and the support of scientific research for program effectiveness. In our experience, the conundrum of youth tobacco use has presented these opportunities for debate, research, and development of enhanced, appropriate, and more effective models of cessation delivery.
