    For a qualitative study on smoking cessation programs for teenagers, six schools were selected that reflected a range of urban and rural settings and academic performance levels. The head teacher of one urban school declined participation, so an alternative school was substituted. Letters were sent to parents of students in years 9-11 informing them of the study and allowing them to exclude their children. Researchers then identified current student smokers who wanted to quit smoking and had not been excluded by parents to participate in the study.

    For the qualitative study, we purposively selected six of these schools to reflect a range of settings
    (urban and rural) and academic performance (the proportion of pupils achieving five or more passes at
    the General Certificate of Secondary Education), and in March 2000 approached their head teachers for
    consent to proceed. The head of one urban school with low academic performance declined to
    participate; an alternative school with similar characteristics was substituted. We then sent a letter to all
    parents of children in years 9–11 in the study schools informing them of our intention to carry out the
    present study (without specifying whether their child would necessarily be involved), and providing
    them with an opportunity to exclude their child if they wished. We then identified all current smokers
    (comprising all regular or occasional smokers; Teenage smoking attitude, 1998) who reported that they
    would like to stop smoking (answering yes to the question ‘‘Would you like to stop smoking?’’) and who
    had not been excluded by their parents; grouped
