Tobacco use is the leading global cause of preventable death.As the largest tobacco producer and consumer around the world

China is facing increasing burden of death and disease brought about by tobacco use.Interventions for adolescents can prevent beginning of smoking among adolescents so as to reduce the smoking rate of the entire population.On the other hand

it can increase the likelihood of smoking cessation in adulthood by delaying the initial age of smoking

thereby reducing smoking-related deaths and the burden of disease.Intervention strategies for adolescent smoking behavior can be broadly divided into two categories:school-based intervention strategies and macro-policy intervention strategies.The former mainly includes health education

social influence

life skills education and cognitive development.The latter includes restrictions on smoking in public places

prohibiting the sale of cigarettes to minors

bans on tobacco advertising

promotion and sponsorship

adding warning labels/pictures on cigarette packages.and raising taxes on tobacco.This paper reviews the characteristics and effects of various intervention strategies in order to provide reference and basis for the intervention research and policy making on tobacco control among adolescents in China.
