Extended Cessation Treatment for Teen Smokers

This study is designed to test the efficacy of an extended smoking cessation program for teen smokers. We hypothesize that teen smokers randomized to extended treatment will have a higher abstinence rate at 52 week follow-up than teen smokers receiving only open label treatment.
