This is Quitting: An Effective Smoking Cessation Program
About 20% of high schoolers use e-cigarettes regularly. This texting program, This is Quitting, aims to help young people quit nicotine.

According to recent data, the use of electronic cigarettes among young people remains at a prevalent level, with nearly one-fifth of high school students using them and about 40% of users using them regularly. What can be done to reverse this alarming trend?


A text messaging program can be used to assist young people in quitting smoking.


This is a free and anonymous messaging program designed to help young people quit nicotine. The innovative quit smoking program incorporates information from real young people who have tried or successfully quit smoking, just like them.


The clinical trial results have proven the effectiveness of the program and have found that the smoking cessation rate among young adults aged 18 to 24 has increased by almost 40% compared to the control group.


How does it work?


To register for This is Quitting, teenagers and young adults can text 88709. Upon receiving their initial email, they will be asked to provide their age and product usage information in order to receive relevant messages. Users will receive one age-appropriate message per day based on their registration or quit date, which can be set and reset via text message.


People who are not yet ready to quit smoking will receive at least four weeks of information, with a focus on developing skills and confidence. Users who have quit smoking will receive messages in the first week and for at least eight weeks after quitting. Throughout the program, users can send text messages such as COPE, STRESS, and SLIP to receive immediate support. After completing the program, users will receive regular text messages from Truth and can continue to use supportive keywords.
