The tobacco industry needs young people!
“The ability to attract new smokers and develop them into a young adult franchise is key to brand development.”
-Philip Morris, Five-Year Trends 1988-1992
“It is important to know as much as possible about teenage smoking patterns and attitudes. Today‟s teenager is tomorrow‟s potential regular customer…”

Harm reduction approach
Harm Reduction
40
The Harm Reduction approach
For young people who smoke experimentally or occasionally:- quit, reduce or prevent progression to smoking more
For young people who smoke regularly:- quit, cut down or not smoke at school
Support others to quit or cut down
Actions that have the lowest levels of harm are to not smoke, to quit and to avoid environmental tobacco smoke
The Harm Reduction Approach
41
The Harm reduction approach.....
Recognises:
Cigarette smoking has a number of perceived benefits for young people
There is a continuum of consequences from smoking
Achieved by:
Promoting quitting, cutting down or managing smoking at school or work
Promoting parent/carer – child communication
42
Addressing youth smoking
Requires you to not make judgments about their smoking
Important to focus on what young people do rather than who they are („young people who smoke‟ not „smokers‟)
Use professional judgment to choose most appropriate intervention strategy for each situation
43
WHAT IF… A young person asks
you about your tobacco use?
If a young person asks you whether you use tobacco or have used tobacco in the past, be honest
If you have never been a tobacco user…
If you have been a tobacco user…

“I wish I had stopped smoking when I was young”
