Abstract

Follow-Up Studies Smoking - therapy Humans Adolescent Female Male Smoking Cessation - methods Smoking Prevention Feasibility Studies
Cigarette smoking is a leading cause of preventable death in the United States. Many smokers initiate this dangerous behavior during adolescence. This report describes a contingency management intervention designed to initate and maintain a period of abstinence from cigarettes by adolescent smokers. Results suggest that the intervention was generally successful and that further investigation of this topic is warranted.
