Among all smok- ers the most effective and rewarding results could be obtained from adolescents. Adolescents have more difficulties in quitting smoking and are subject to prolonged and denser exposure to negative effects of smoking compared to older age groups. The quittance practice may be different in adolescents because of the differences in treatment priorities compared to older individuals. This case report discusses the multidisciplinary approach to an adolescent smoker with androgenic obesity who applied to the Smoking Cessation and Family Medicine Outpatient Clinic of Ondokuz May›s University Medical School is discussed.
