First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated Jun 23, 2026 · Updated 35 times
Summary
This study tested a mobile program called Vaper-to-Vaper (V2V) to help high school students quit vaping. The program included peer-written text messages, one-on-one coaching via text, gamification to keep users engaged, and standard quitting materials. Researchers enrolled 71 teens who currently vaped and tracked how many stayed in the program for 3 months. The goal was to see if this approach is acceptable and practical, not yet to prove it works.

What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
peer messaging, peer coaching via text, gamification, and e-cigarette cessation materials
What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a scalable, low-cost way to help teens quit vaping using peer support and mobile tools.
What could go wrong
This was a small feasibility study with only 71 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The program relies on self-report and voluntary participation, which may limit its effectiveness.
