Many young people want to quit vaping. A new study says medication can help

Sarah Todd resumed reporting in January 2025 after working as an assignment editor at STAT from October 2022. A recent study at Massachusetts General Hospital found that young e-cigarette users who took varenicline with counseling were more successful in quitting vaping compared to those on a placebo. The research, authored by Eden Evins, highlights the effectiveness of this approach for controlling nicotine cravings among youth. This could lead to a significant shift in how healthcare providers address nicotine addiction in young people, as varenicline has shown promise as a treatment option. Vaping remains a concern among adolescents and young adults due to its addictive nature and health risks associated with nicotine exposure.
