E-Cigarette Cessation

E-cigarettes are the most popular nicotine-delivery device used by US adolescents; in 2024, 1.6 million adolescents reported use of e-cigarettes in the past month, and of these, a quarter reported using e-cigarettes daily. Many adolescents state that they do not want to be addicted to e-cigarettes and want to quit. However, there are few evidence-based interventions designed to help adolescents to quit e-cigarette use and have wide dissemination potential. Our work focuses on developing treatment options for students who want to quit e-cigarette use. Below we detail our programs that include “Kick-Nic!©” which is an individualized treatment program set to start enrolling early in 2025. We also aim to develop better tools to measure e-cigarette withdrawal among high school youth. Withdrawal is an important barrier to quitting, but there is limited understanding of youth e-cigarette withdrawal and how it impacts youths’ ability to quit
