The 2018 National Youth Tobacco Survey showed e-cigarette use among middle and high schoolers increased 48% and 78%, respectively, in just one year. This coincided with rapid increases in market share of JUUL, the e-cigarette product used most by young people. More than 3.6 million youth currently use e-cigarettes, with 28% of high school e-cigarette users vaping on 20 days or more in the past month. Exposure to nicotine in young people can impact learning, memory, and attention, and lead to increased impulsivity, mood disorders, and addiction to other drugs. The article describes development of a program to help young people quit vaping, promotion of the program, and preliminary results (level of engagement and interest in quitting at 7 days, 30 days and 90 days).
