<![CDATA[Introduction: The prevalence of smoking in adolescents is still relatively high both in the world and in Indonesia. Not only teenage boys, but adolescent girls also consume cigarettes. The 2022 National Socio-Economic Survey noted that 37.49% of children at that age smoked more than 60 cigarettes every week. In fact, adolescent health is a long-term investment that needs to be considered considering its urgency as the nation's next generation. In this case, the emergence of technology has the potential to provide measurable innovative interventions in tobacco control through health promotion media. Objective: This study aims to explore articles that discuss the effectiveness of digital media in increasing health literacy, the dangers of smoking in adolescents seen from the variables that have changed. Method: The method used is a literature review by analyzing articles relevant to the research topic with a publication range of 2019-2024. The databases used are Pubmed, DOAJ, and Google scholar with the keywords "digital media", "literacy", "cigarettes" and "adolescents". The researcher found 504 articles and included them into 8 relevant articles. Result: Eight articles show that audiovisual-based digital media is claimed to be very effective for use in health promotion. The ability to analyze good health messages is reflected in changes in higher levels of knowledge, attitudes, motivations, intentions, and behaviors. Thus, there are indications that there is an increase in health literacy in adolescents about the dangers of cigarettes (p value<0.05) is increasing. Effectiveness was measured using pre-test, post-test, survey, and interview before and after being given an intervention using digital media that had been prepared. Conclusion: Digitalization is the gateway to increasing the existence of health promotion in a more practical and modern way. With a high level of literacy, adolescents' knowledge, attitudes, and motivation are expected to increase so that it will have implications for healthy living behavior.]]>
