Résumé : | Cigarette smoking among youths has long been documented as a national problem affecting health and economic status in the United States. A number of studies have documented that cigarette-smoking initiation occurs primarily between late childhood and young adolescence. This evidence has brought about the need for awareness among community health nurses to find and deliver effective antismoking programs to reduce the prevalence of youth smoking initiation. Generally, community health nurses are in an excellent position to help the nation achieve its goals in terms of reducing the incidence of youth smoking initiation. However, current knowledge about community health nursing practice and smoking initiation interventions is limited. This article raises awareness about smoking initiation prevention in youth and the need to implement effective smoking prevention programs in practice settings and encourages community health nurses to increase their involvement in antismoking initiation research and interventions. |
