Understanding that youth are not bad for vaping, right? And really taking that stigma and that shame away because so many youth feel ashamed about the fact that they are vaping and making sure that there is a community of support and understanding that vaping is very difficult for teens to quit.
Vaping has become a go-to stress reliever for many teens, but it's also led to widespread nicotine addiction. In this episode of 'High Truths on Drugs and Addiction', Dr. Roneet Lev dives into this pressing issue with Kristen Isaac and Brianna Zimmerman from the Rescue Agency. They discuss the unique challenges teens face when trying to quit vaping, especially in a world where traditional quitlines feel too rigid and impersonal.
Enter Quit the Hit, a virtual support group tailored specifically for young people. Hosted through Instagram group chats, this program offers a relaxed, teen-friendly environment where participants can share their struggles and victories in real-time. Moderated by trained counselors, Quit the Hit has already helped over 2,000 teens across eight states to cut down or quit vaping altogether. The conversation sheds light on the importance of community and personalized support in tackling addiction.
Teens who join Quit the Hit don't just get advice; they find a supportive network that understands their unique struggles and helps them navigate the path to quitting without judgment. This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in innovative approaches to youth addiction and mental health support.
