Teens: The top 2 ways to quit vaping

A young man smiles at his phone as he texts Live Vape Free

According to a Cochrane systematic review of all research studies available from peer-reviewed journals, there are two treatments that appear to help people quit vaping:

  • Text message support may help more young people (13 to 24 years of age) stop vaping than no/minimal support.
  • Varenicline may also help people quit vaping. In fact, in one study published in JAMA, half of people who took varenicline quit vaping.
  • There was not enough information to say whether other interventions could help people stop vaping.

You can get:

  1. A prescription for varenicline from your doctor. For more on varenicline, click here.
  2. Free text support. Visit ExProgram.com. Or, in Wisconsin, just text “VAPEFREE” to 873373.

To quit smoking, try the Wisconsin Tobacco Quit Line.
