Break Free With a Vape-Free Life

Nicotine is addicting and can have serious impacts on your brain, especially for those 18 and younger. Quitting is possible with the right tools and support.

Be the Best You!
Don’t Let Anything Hold You Back

Nicotine negatively impacts brain development. If you are under the age of 18, it becomes harder to quit the longer you vape. Smoking and vaping can cause breathing issues, especially when active or playing a sport.

The best decision you can make is not to start vaping at all. But if you already have, there is support to help you quit.

Nicotine and the Developing Brain

Because of the brain development occurring during adolescence, teens can become dependent on nicotine much faster than adults.
Nicotine affects key brain receptors, making it more likely young people will become addicted.
Vaping is linked with higher levels of ADHD symptoms.
Smoking during the teen years can also harm memory.

Important Note on Nicotine Replacement Therapy

Please note that the FDA has not approved cessation medications for those under 18. If you’ve been thinking that nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) might help you stop vaping, speak to your pediatrician about the possibility of getting a prescription. Talk to your healthcare provider today to get on the path to quitting for good.
