Almost half of teens who vape want to quit

Nearly half of teens who say they've used an e-cigarette recently also say they've contemplated quitting, according to a new survey of more than 15,000 teens. Of the roughly 500 young people who said they had vaped in the last month, nearly 45% said they had seriously thought about quitting vaping. Among those teens, half said they were hoping to quit within the month and nearly one-quarter said they hoped to do so a year or more later. One-quarter also said that they had tried to quit vaping in the previous year. That interest in quitting — and the past attempts to quit — point to an urgent need for interventions to encourage vaping cessation, the authors write.
