Randomized Controlled TrialEffect of nicotine replacement therapy on quitting by young adults in a trial comparing cessation services.
Young adult smokers have the highest smoking prevalence among all US age groups but are least likely to use evidence-based cessation counseling or medication to quit. ⋯ Many young adults were willing to try NRT, and it appeared to help them quit in the context of community-based cessation services. Strategies should be developed to make NRT available to this age group and support them in using it to prevent lifelong smoking.
