Abstract

Vaping has dramatically increased in use among many age groups with reasons cited as smoking cessation, good taste, and convenience. Two key differences between vaping and smoking are user’s and healthcare provider’s ability to quantify consumption and the social pressures to vape. Various questions are used to try to quantify vape use, but there has not been a standard method that is validated and widely used. Newer research is being done for vaping cessation including a text messaging program, but it does not address pharmacotherapy to reduce withdrawal symptoms and sustain the quit attempt long-term. Successful programs will need to address pharmacologic and behavioral interventions.
