Help Youth Quit Vaping

Quitting vapes or other tobacco products can be hard. Here are some ways to help young people get the support they need.

My Life, My Quit

My Life, My Quit is a specially designed program to help young people quit vaping or other tobacco products. My Life, My Quit™ provides five free and confidential coaching sessions by phone, live texting, or chat with a specially-trained youth coach. Youth can text “Start My Quit” to 36072 or call toll-free 1-855-891-9989 for real-time coaching.  They can also visit mylifemyquit.com to sign up online, chat with a live coach, get information about vaping and tobacco, and activities to help them quit. The program can send out materials and a certificate at the end of the program.

My Life, My Quit™ is a program of National Jewish Health, the vendor for the Massachusetts tobacco Quitline. The My Life, My Quit™ program combines best practices for youth tobacco cessation adapted to include vaping and new ways to reach a coach using live text messaging or online chat.

Specially-trained youth coaches emphasize that the decision to stop is personal, and provide information to help cope with stress, navigate social situations, and support developing a tobacco-free identity.

An app for My Life, My Quit is also available for download wherever you get your apps.
