Approximately 400 adolescents will be randomly assigned to one of two arms (1) QuitVaping intervention plus texting support to quit vaping and (2) EUC only.

QuitVaping
QuitVaping is a manualized intervention based on the American Lung Association smoking cessation program modified with adolescent appropriate content and language for vaping cessation from the vaping section of teen.smokefree.gov and the Truth Initiative. These behavioral support sessions will be delivered weekly during the 12-week treatment phase via videoconference or in- person.
This is Quitting (TIQ)
A free, publicly available text message vaping cessation program from Truth Initiative, designed specifically to help adolescents who vape nicotine quit. Participants who set a quit date receive messages for a week preceding it and 30 days afterward that include encouragement and support, skill- and self-efficacy building exercises, coping strategies, and information about the risks of vaping, benefits of quitting and cutting down to quit.
