Moreover, participants were receptive to the integrated focus on smoking, which included weekly self-monitoring and self-efficacy building behavioral experiments such as practicing how to delay smoking in response to urges, changing their smoking environment, and making practice quit attempts.
It is suggested that delaying smoking initiation among adolescents could in the long run reduce the rate of smoking through increasing the potential for successful cessation [ 32].
It has been shown that delaying smoking onset until after the age of 13 can reduce the prevalence of adult smoking [ 43] and that delaying drinking onset after the age of 14 can reduce the risk of alcohol dependence [ 6].
Existing data suggests that programs that delay smoking initiation might have significant value even if they do not lead to fully preventing the uptake of smoking [ 32].
