From the Paper:

"The Journal of Family Practice article "Current trends in tobacco prevention and cessation in Nebraska physicians' office" (Backer et al 1997) explores many aspects of the problems that exist with teenagers using tobacco in the form of smoking cigarettes, as well as other forms of tobacco. Additionally, the authors of this journal article explore statistical data and discuss recommendations for helping to educate teenagers and others on the dangers of tobacco use. While this journal article focuses on the relationship that exists among teenagers, physicians, and tobacco use, the information is nonetheless quite relevant to a school situation. This article actually deals with the effectuality and ineffectuality of intervention methods used with teenagers, so the recommendations that can be drawn from this data actually have basis in facts rather than simply being proposals that may or may not prove to work in real-life situations. The data published in this article is important for every person who works with teenagers, whether that be in a school, clinical, or home setting, to be familiarized with."
