Brief Interventions on Smoking for Hormonal Contraceptive Users

Despite rising smoker rates, particularly in girls and young women, only few studies have focused on smoking cessation in young smokers. Gynaecologist practices may be an ideal setting to proactively intervene with young female smokers. Elevated health risks of smoking while using hormonal contraceptives could be a successful approach to gain young women's attention on smoking cessation. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of a smoking cessation intervention for girls and young women visiting gynaecologist practices and using hormonal contraceptives.
