Virtually CONNECTed

Do you know a teen in need of support to quit their use of vaping or other nicotine products? Our long-running Project CONNECT® support group programming has been adapted so students can connect with a facilitator and other teens virtually to gain skills and support for a healthier life. In this 6-session group, students will examine their patterns of nicotine use, learn the benefits of making a change, develop strategies to address their triggers, and receive encouragement to reach their personal goals. Middle and High School students, ages 13-18, from across the country are welcomed.

Youth Vaping Quick Facts:

• According to the National Youth Tobacco Survey in 2022, more than 3 million middle and high school students reported current (past 30-day) use of a tobacco product including 16.5% of high school students and 4.5% of middle school students.
• The study also found that over 2.5 million middle and high school students reported current e-cigarette use, a higher number than the previous year.
• Using nicotine in adolescence can harm the parts of the brain that control attention, learning, mood, and impulse control.
• In 2023, 88% of teen participants in our nicotine cessation groups reported a positive change in their behavior.
• In their words: “I learned a lot including coping mechanisms to stop smoking, and an outlet to talk about the effects. I really like the people and the experience. [This group] is important because it helps kids make healthy decisions in life.”
