“…Some limitations of the present study should be mentioned: First, smoking abstinence was not biochemically validated, however, studies among adolescents found self-reported smoking behavior to be reliable and valid [29,30]. Second, the process variables were only assessed retrospectively at follow-up.…”

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the processes of change, demographic, health-and smokingrelated predictors of both smoking cessation and smoking reduction in adolescents. METHODS: Data were drawn from a sample of 755 adolescent smokers who participated in a study testing the efficacy of a text messaging-based intervention for smoking cessation. Demographic, health-and smoking-related variables were assessed at baseline. Five processes of smoking cessation, derived from the Transtheoretical Model and the Social Cognitive Theory, as well as outcome measures were assessed at 6-month follow up. Univariate and multivariate regression analyses were conducted to identify baseline and process variables to predict smoking abstinence and smoking reduction. RESULTS: Male gender (OR=0.43, p<.01), lower alcohol consumption (OR=0.90, p=.05) and a lower number of cigarettes smoked per day at baseline (OR=0.87, p<.01) predicted smoking abstinence. Baseline physical activity predicted smoking reduction (OR=1.04, p=.03). None of the examined process variables significantly predicted smoking abstinence. The process variable "counter-conditioning" predicted smoking reduction (OR=1.46, p=.03). CONCLU-SIONS: Baseline predictors of smoking cessation differ from predictors of smoking reduction. Dynamic or modifiable variables play an important role in predicting adolescent smoking cessation. PRACTICE IMPLICATIONS: Counter-conditioning might be an important element in adolescent smoking cessation interventions. of the 10 examined processes only "counter-conditioning" was effective in changing adolescent smoking behavior. DOIThe aims of this study were to investigate a comprehensive set of demographic, health-and smokingrelated predictors of both smoking cessation and smoking reduction in adolescents. Furthermore, we tested whether the use of various processes of change derived from major theoretical models for adolescent smoking cessation predicted smoking cessation or reduction. The results of this study might increase our understanding of how specific intervention elements and participants` characteristics may influence adolescent smoking cessation. Methods ParticipantsThe data for this study were collected within the randomized controlled trial "Efficacy of a text present in the school classes, of whom 2638 (99.3%) completed the assessment. Afterwards, the students were invited to complete an online screening. The survey included the assessment of demographic data, alcohol consumption, weekly physical activity, tobacco smoking status, number of smoking friends and ownership of a mobile phone. Using these data, daily or occasional smoking students who owned a mobile phone were invited to participate in a study testing the efficacy of a text messaging based smoking cessation intervention. After receiving informed consent online, the following smoking-related variables were assessed: stage of change, number of cigarettes smoked per day, past quit attempts, and age of smoking onset. From 1012 eligible persons, who met the inclusion c...

“…One of the better estimates of self initiated cessation rates comes from a longitudinal study of Australian youth. 5 Researchers interviewed 937 adolescents at age 15 years, and again at age 18. At age 18, only 5.3% of the adolescents who were daily smokers at age 15 were abstinent for the past month at the time of their interview.…”

“…Although many adolescent smokers report wanting to quit, few remain abstinent after making a cessation attempt ( Mermelstein, 2003 ;Stanton, McClelland, Elwood, Ferry, & Silva, 1996 ;Zhu, Sun, Billings, Choi, & Malarcher, 1999 ). Even with treatment, the large majority of adolescents relapse back to smoking ( Colby & Gwaltney, 2007 ;Sussman, Sun, & Dent, 2006 ).…”

Introduction: The study objectives were to examine smoking abstinence and reinstatement effects on subjective experience and cognitive performance among adolescent smokers.Methods: Adolescents (aged 14 -17 years, 60 daily smokers and 32 nonsmokers) participated. Participants completed baseline assessments (Session 1) and returned to the laboratory 1 -3 days later to repeat assessments (Session 2); half of the smokers were randomly assigned to 15 -17 hr tobacco abstinence preceding Session 2.Results: During Session 2, abstaining smokers reported significantly greater increases in withdrawal symptoms, smoking urges, and negative affect compared with smokers who did not abstain and compared with nonsmokers. Smoking reinstatement reversed abstinence effects, returning to baseline levels for smoking urges and negative affect. Abstaining smokers showed signifi cantly enhanced cognitive performance on two of six tasks (two-letter search compared with nonabstaining smokers; serial reaction time compared with nonsmokers); smoking reinstatement resulted in signifi cant decrements on these two tasks relative to nonabstaining smokers. Discussion: Effects of smoking abstinence and reinstatement on self-report measures are consistent with earlier research with adolescent as well as adult smokers and may help to elucidate the motivational underpinnings of smoking maintenance among adolescent smokers. Effects found on cognitive performance were contrary to hypotheses; further research is needed to understand better the role of cognitive performance effects in smoking maintenance among adolescents.
