Educating young people about the dangers of smoking is important in prevention as well as smoking cessation. Smoking cessation programs are a valuable resource in the community to help adolescents quit smoking (Department of Health). Anti-smoking campaigns on television, such as “Truth” campaigns, have been shown to be effective in preventing smoking among young people. Educate parents about risk factors. Teach parents the importance of knowing who their friends are, where they are, and what they are doing. Teach parents to express disapproval of smoking. Parents encourage schools to implement tobacco-free policies and campuses for students and staff. Enforce age restrictions on movies and discourage the use of media featuring smoking. Help teenagers face their problems and build their self-esteem. For the Sensation-Seeking Adolescent, Educate Parents About Authoritative Parenting
