That school help young people to quit by:

 * === developing a comprehensive approach to address smoking ===
 * === treating smoking by students as a health rather than a disciplinary issue ===
 * === offering smoking cessation interventions that incorporate known effective components to young people who smoke ===
 * === creating a physical and social environment in the school where smoking is not the norm ===
 * === Considering providing on-site quit support. Some schools have registered healthcare professionals. They can become Quit card (NRT) providers. ===



Students
=== Smoking is an addiction which nearly always begins whilst people are still in school. The average age of a new smoker is just 14 years of age. The younger people start smoking the harder it is to quit and the worse the health outcomes. ===

As the organisations with the greatest amount of contact with young people schools can help break the cycle of smoking.
=== Despite perceptions to the contrary, the vast majority of young people who smoke regret starting. Nearly three quarters (72 per cent) of 15 to 19-year-old smokers say they wish they'd never started to smoke. === === Young people are also more interested in quitting than people realise. Nearly half of smokers aged 15 to 19 are thinking of quitting and over a third have made at least one attempt to quit in the last year. === === However just as is the case with adult smoking, young people who smoke may be addicted to a potent drug (nicotine). Research shows that young people can rapidly become addicted to nicotine, with symptoms of nicotine dependence emerging long before regular smoking. Once cravings are experienced the likelihood of becoming daily smokers is greatly increased. ===

Helping young people to quit is not the same as helping adults to quit and quitting programmes and medications for adults may be less effective with young people.
