Teenagers and Tobacco: Nicotine and the Adolescent Brain (Tobacco: the Deadly Drug)
17 Sep
Statistics about teens and smoking have caused concern among parents and health-care providers. Many reports seemed to place the blame for teen smoking on peer and media influence. But are they the only causes? The small answer: no. As readers of “Teenagers and Tobacco: Nicotine and the Youthful Brain” will learn, there is a relationship linking how the youthful brain works and the way it is affected by nicotine. The author clarifies how the youthful brain differs from the adult brain, then goes on to discuss how those differences make teen smoking unique. “Teenagers and Tobacco: Nicotine and the Youthful Brain” also gives readers insight into how smoking cessation programs for teens must be structured to take into account the way the teenage brain functions. Teens are not just younger versions of adults. What works for adults probably won’t work for teens.
