The study was done with a nonequivalent control group pretest-posttest design. METHODS: The participants were 39 high school students from G city, who were in school from September 1 to October 30, 2009.

Data analyses involved chi2-test, independent t-test, Repeated Measures ANOVA, and utilized the SPSS program. RESULTS: The experimental group had significantly less daily smoking, nicotine dependence and smoking temptation in comparison to the control group.
