Summary

Tobacco dependence mostly arises in adolescent age. Unfortunately in the Czech Republic each ninth smoker is in the age under 18. Although the prevention cannot be overlooked we have to understand that also treatment is needed in this age group. This is a new and apparently important topic in the medicine adolescent smokers become adult smokers. So far experience or evidence based publications are not available because those smokers are not motivated to quit and have no adherence to the treatment. The interest in treatment is substantial there. This was a topic of the EU project ACCESS described in this paper.

Key words:
tobacco dependence, smoking cessation, adolescents, motivation
