TEEN VAPING CESSATION RESOURCE TOOLS
Created in partnership with Hopelab and UCSF's Center for Tobacco Control Research and Education, Quit the Hit is an innovative cessation solution for young people that provides 30 days of online quit support in groups of 10-15 participants with active moderation by a cessation coach.

Educational Video: Teen Vaping and COVID: What's Different? What's the Same?
Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, teens’ attitudes, behaviors, and knowledge about vaping have changed. To better understand these changes, Rescue’s research team conducted focus groups in 2 states with 86 participants before COVID and compared the data to 46 online interviews in 2 states after COVID. While some teens reported decreased vaping usage—due to more parental oversight, fewer peer interactions, and more—others have increased their use.
Educational Video: Teen Vaping Prevention Messages That Work
Teen vaping continues to rise across the country. Without effective intervention, we are facing a new generation of nicotine addiction. That’s why we feel it is so important to share our latest science and strategies with our fellow tobacco prevention colleagues. Our previous video, Trends of Teen Vaping, looked at the science of which teens are most at-risk of vaping. Our new video builds on that knowledge by discussing three different vaping prevention messages we have tested with teens. Watch the video to learn more.
