..05). Higher levels of physical activity may reduce the risk of smoking during adolescence. Youth smoking prevention initiatives should incorporate strategies to promote physical activity to prevent smoking experimentation and escalation...

..These results provide the first evidence from a prospective clinical trial that genes that alter dopamine function may influence smoking cessation and relapse during the treatment phase...

..Such research could ultimately enable practitioners to select the optimal type and dose of medication for individual smokers...

..There was no evidence for mediation. In bupropion smoking cessation trials, blind failure may occur and participant guess about treatment arm assignment is associated with quit rates...

..Future studies of the role of inattention symptoms in response to smoking treatment are warranted...

..We sought to understand this relationship better in a prospective study by investigating whether there are subpopulations of adolescents with different relationships between smoking and depressive symptoms...
