TL;DR
This study suggests that NRT in this context is unlikely to be effective in young smokers, not least because of low adherence to therapy, and suggests that young smokers want help with smoking cessation, but that establishing the efficacy of smoking cessation services for young people who need them most will be very difficult.
Abstract
This study suggests that NRT in this context is unlikely to be effective in young smokers, not least because of low adherence to therapy. It also suggests that young smokers want help with smoking cessation, but that establishing the efficacy of smoking cessation services for young people who need them most will be very difficult.

Smoking cessation counselling can assist smokers to quit and there was no evidence of a difference in effect between individual counselling and group therapy.

In adults with comparable smoking rates, it was found that the adolescents had lower blood cotinine levels and placebo-controlled trials are needed to establish the efficacy of nicotine patch therapy in adolescents.

Univariate analyses showed boys and girls from more deprived neighborhoods were more likely to have tried smoking, to eat a high fat diet, and to be overweight, and girls living in more deprived areas were also less likely to eat five servings of fruit and vegetables or to exercise at the weekend.

Smoking rates decreased significantly during the study, an effect that lessened at 12 weeks and 6 months, and nicotine patch therapy plus minimal behavioral intervention does not appear to be effective for treatment of adolescent smokers.

64 Citations2000Martin Bobák
The strong gradient in men suggests that smokers from lower socioeconomic groups have a preference for higher smoke intake and so may be more nicotine dependent, which would have important implications for anti-smoking programmes.
