Tobacco Use and Cessation

According to the CDC, E-cigarettes are the most commonly used tobacco product among U.S. youth. No tobacco products, including e-cigarettes, are safe, especially for children, teens, and young adults. Most e-cigarettes contain nicotine, which is highly addictive. Nicotine can harm the parts of an adolescent's brain that control attention, learning, mood, and impulse control. People who vape can become addicted to nicotine. This can make it hard to quit, but you don't have to do it alone. For example, trained quit coaches are available via 1-800-QUIT-NOW to provide confidential help at no cost to callers. There are several free and low-cost resources available, some of which are designed specifically for teens who vape.
