Provide counseling interventions for adolescent smokers to encourage them to stop smoking or abstain from tobacco use.

1. Educate the adolescent on the health risks of smoking, such as respiratory and cardiovascular diseases, lung cancer, and other long-term effects.
2. Guide the adolescent to identify their reasons for wanting to quit or abstain from smoking in order to create a plan of action that is tailored to their individual needs and motivations.
3. Assist the adolescent in brainstorming strategies for managing triggers and cravings such as deep breathing exercises, physical activity or talking with a friend when feeling tempted by cigarettes.
4. Provide resources for support groups such as nicotine anonymous meetings or online forums where they can find encouragement from others who are going through similar experiences.
5. Finally, discuss key components of relapse prevention so that the adolescent will be better prepared if they encounter any setbacks during their journey towards tobacco cessation/abstinence
