Teen vaping

A startling 82% of Delaware high school students who use tobacco products vape.

Nearly half of them (49%) use e-cigarettes (vape) only. One-third of them also use other tobacco products. That means only 18% of students who use tobacco products do not use e-cigarettes. Surprisingly, over half of e-cigarette users in middle and high school have never tried smoking conventional cigarettes.*

Cessation options to help teens quit vaping.

Students want to quit. You want to help.

Nicotine exposure during adolescence, a critical period for brain development, can cause addiction and harm the developing brain. Many vape pods can deliver the nicotine equivalent of 20 regular cigarettes. Fortunately, Delaware has a dedicated 24/7 resource that e-cigarette users, now as young as age 13, can use to find the support they need to quit successfully.

It’s free. It’s confidential. No one has to know. It’s the right call to make for any student or educator who vapes or smokes. The Delaware Quitline offers invaluable support, resources, and personal encouragement to anyone who wants to quit vaping, smoking, or using other tobacco products.
