If you are trying to quit vaping, there is new hope—and it is more effective than anything we have seen before. A recent clinical trial published in The Journal of the American Medical Association reveals that using three tools together can boost your chances of quitting by up to tenfold.

The study tested a medication called varenicline (commonly sold as Chantix), already used to help people stop smoking. But this is the first time it is been tested specifically for young people trying to quit nicotine vaping—and the results are impressive.

Participants aged 16 to 25 were split into three groups. The most successful group combined varenicline, weekly Zoom counselling, and a text-based support app developed by the Truth Initiative. More than half were vape-free at 12 weeks, and 28% remained so after six months—even after stopping the medication.

By comparison, only 7% of those using the app alone stayed off nicotine long-term.

Why does this matter? Because quitting vaping is especially tough for young people. Not only is the addiction strong, but many hide their habit from parents and hesitate to seek help. And once addicted, teens are at greater risk of developing future substance abuse issues.

The takeaway? Medication plus behavioural support and digital tools is the gold standard. If you are ready to quit, talk to a healthcare provider. Do not go it alone. With the right strategy, quitting is not just possible—it is powerful.
