Can a text message program help teens quit vaping?
A recent study in JAMA evaluated a text message program to help teenagers quit e-cigarette use. The trial involved over 1,600 participants aged 13-17 recruited via social media. The program, 'This is Quitting,' provided personalized messages and support for users. Results showed a 35% higher quitting rate in the intervention group compared to controls, with improved dual abstinence rates. The program's effectiveness highlights the impact of digital interventions on adolescent vaping cessation, surpassing traditional methods. Health providers are encouraged to promote and implement such programs to support youth in quitting vaping successfully.
