Despite rising acknowledgement of the onset of tobacco smoking in children and adolescents, foundational understanding about many elements of early-life smoking behavior, as well as statistics to advocate for specific treatment approaches among children and adolescents, is inadequate. Nicotine addiction and withdrawal have been linked to continued cigarette use and difficulty stopping. When adolescents first start smoking, few expect to have trouble quitting. However, more than half of smoking teens say they try to quit every year, and fewer than 20% of those who smoke ten or more cigarettes per day say they are successful for even a month. Treatment of tobacco addiction rely mainly on the behavioral interventions as medications safety are not assessed for those less than 18 years old, so more research should be encouraged to find about the safety and availability for alternatives as behavioral intervention is not suitable alone for moderate to severe cases, Tobacco products are used by youth in a variety of ways,When smoking cessation efforts are undertaken in developed and developing nations, the wide diversity of tobacco products must be taken into consideration.
This research deals with the causes of tobacco dependence among young people, diagnosis and treatment methods.
