Virtual Reality Smoking Cessation–Designed for Teens, by Teens

Received: December 28, 2016 Revised: March 30, 2017 Accepted: May 04, 2017 Abstract: Introduction: Today, about 90% of adult smokers started smoking before the age of 18. As the largest preventable cause of disease and death in the United States, tobacco use accounts for nearly 500,000 deaths and hundreds of billions of dollars to care for smoking-related illnesses every year. While most smoking cessation programs are geared toward adults, there is a void in attempts to curb teen smoking.
