For teens looking to quit vaping nicotine, an interactive text message program has been found effective in helping them quit. The anonymous program begins by asking users to text the date they want to quit for daily tips before and after their quit date. According to a study, teens who participated in the program were 35% more likely to report quitting vaping after seven months compared to those who did not. The program, called This is Quitting, was developed by a nonprofit organization focused on ending tobacco use. E-cigarettes are the most commonly used tobacco product among adolescents.
