Teen smoking: 10 ways to keep teens smoke-free

1. Set a good example

Teen smoking is more common among teens whose parents smoke. If you smoke, quit. Ask your doctor about ways to stop smoking.

In the meantime, don't smoke in front of your teen and don't leave smoking materials around your home. Explain to your teen how unhappy you are with your smoking, how difficult it is to quit and that you'll keep trying until you stop smoking for good.
