  The rate at which adolescents in West Virginia are smoking continues to be an ongoing concern. Approximately 9% of middle school and 22% of high school students are smoking cigarettes. Although these figures have been on a decline, this still represents a staggering figure.
  
  
  OBJECTIVE
  Review the literature and research on tobacco smoking cessation programs available to adolescents.
  
  
  METHODS
