Teenage Smoking Cessation Program: Not-On-Tobacco
Not-On-Tobacco is a state-of-the-art program specifically designed for teenagers who want to stop smoking. It was developed by the American Lung Association in collaboration with researchers at West Virginia University.
N-O-T does more than teach teens how to stop smoking successfully. It uses a life management skills approach so young people learn how to reduce stress, make decisions, and communicate more effectively with family and friends.
