Youth Tobacco Cessation Brief

We are excited to re-release the Youth Tobacco Cessation brief. The aim of the brief is to bring current research-based information on youth tobacco use, state quitline practices for supporting youth in quitting, and issues of importance to the quitline community going forward regarding youth tobacco cessation. The learning community aimed to find recommendations for quitlines on youth cessation services, however the available literature and quitline practice did not meet NAQC’s criteria for best and promising practices. As a result, this brief serves to provide a literature review and summary of quitline practice while also highlighting areas where additional research is needed in order to make recommendations on best practices for quitlines in youth cessation services. The re-released version of the brief includes new resources and updated data.

As an accompanying resource, we have developed an infographic that showcases national youth data that you can use when speaking to the need for quitline services and resources for youth.

We look forward to working in collaboration with the quitline community to better reach and serve youth who use tobacco, including e-cigarettes.
