Abstract

Tobacco use is a pervasive public health problem and the leading cause of preventable morbidity and mortality in the United States.

The article also provides an update on the diagnosis and assessment of tobacco use disorder in adolescents, with a particular focus on the clinical management of tobacco use in adolescents with co-occurring disorders.

Keywords: Adolescent; Smoking; Smoking cessation; Tobacco products; Tobacco use disorder; Young adult.
