Quitting vaping this 2025? Here’s what the evidence shows so far about effective strategies | Jamie Hartmann-Boyce (UMass Amherst) and Ailsa R Butler & Nicola Lindson (University of Oxford)

On January 8, 2025, a team of specialists on tobacco use and health policy published a report that draws together the available scientific evidence on how best to support people to quit vaping nicotine.

Lots of people who vape want to quit, but there’s very little guidance on how best to do so. In the U.S., recent reports estimate that 5.9 percent of youth and 4.5 percent of adults currently vape. In Britain, an estimated 7.8 percent of youth and 11 percent of adults vape. More and more research is being done to find out how best to quit.

All the evidence on these programs came from one text message-based program in particular, called This Is Quitting. People can sign up to this program, which will then send them daily automated, interactive text messages supporting them in quitting. Varenicline appeared to double the chances of successfully quitting, compared with people receiving no medication for quitting. The text-message intervention appeared to increase the chances of successfully quitting vaping by about 30 percent.

People who vape should make sure they are using products that have been regulated and tested—in the U.S., for example, the Food and Drug Administration has authorized marketing of some nicotine vaping products as appropriate for the protection of public health. With smoking, people often have to try to quit many times before succeeding. Therefore, if you want to quit vaping nicotine, and have tried before but it hasn’t worked, don’t be discouraged.

Those who started vaping to help quit smoking need to make sure that quitting vaping is not going to cause them to go back to smoking.
