Brief Summary

This project is funded by Department of Health. We will run a quitline which provides telephone smoking cessation counseling to youth smokers aged 25 or below. After baseline counseling based on trans-theoretical model, follow-up counseling will be provided by trained counselors (i.e. nursing students or students from other healthrelated disciplines) at 1 week, 1, 3, 6, 9 and 12 months. It is expected that the quitline can assist youth smokers to quit smoking, thus saving the healthcare cost attributed to smoking in long-term.
