Smoking cessation program for teen

2000 I have a teen who is smoking. Does anyone know of a smoking cessation program specifically oriented toward teens? How have others handled this? Anonymous
In response to the parent who wants information about smoking cessation for teens, I'd like to share the following:

The Tobacco Prevention Program at Berkeley High School has tobacco use cessation services for Berkeley students. For information, call Karen Perry or Marcia Brown-Machen at 644-8987. Teen (and adult) information and/or cessation counseling is also available by phone at the California's Smokers Helpline: 1-800-NO BUTTS. For more information about other resources for quitting, including hypnosis, acupuncture, other community quit groups and information on the use of nicotine patches and the new no-smoking pill, Wellbutrin (Zyban), or to chat about teens and smoking, you can e-mail: QuitNow AT ci.berkeley.ca.us or phone 644-6422.

Thanks, Marcia Brown-Machen, MPH
Tobacco Prevention Program Director
