Adolescents' experiences of smoking cessation

Drug and Alcohol Dependence

Abstract

Recent prevalence rates show that by Year 10 (ages 14-16 years), 15% of students are smoking each day. As the majority of young people do not smoke, schools have traditionally provided an emphasis on prevention. However, the prevalence of daily smoking increases from 15 to 31% across the last 3 years of secondary school, suggesting a need for cessation programs. Therefore, a study of smoking cessation among students was conducted with 2877 Year 10 students in Queensland, Australia. Results of the survey showed that students (i) moderately under-estimated the number of smoking peers who had tried to stop smoking (perceived as 42%, reported as 55%), and (ii) over-estimated the success their smoking peers have (perceived as 29%, reported as 13.6%). The majority of adolescents (57.5%) reported that they had done something to influence a student not to smoke in the last 12 months, including 29% of the smokers. Among those who were current smokers, 64% wanted to stop smoking and 55% had tried to stop in the past year. Withdrawal symptoms were frequently reported among adolescent smokers and more males than females reported being stressed and depressed as a result of their efforts to quit. Intention to quit in the next year was associ...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
