The Wisconsin Department of Health Services (DHS) has announced that the Wisconsin Tobacco Quit Line has expanded its text-based Live Vape Free program to include young adults ages 18-26.
The program supports young Wisconsinites on the path to ending their use of nicotine and vape products.
It will provide people over age 18 with two weeks of free nicotine replacement therapy if medically eligible.
According to the 2022 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance Survey, nearly one in five Wisconsinites ages 18-24 vape.
They account for 34% of current adult e-cigarette users in our state.
State Health Officer Paula Tran explained, “By expanding the Live Vape Free program, we can help this age group achieve what they deserve: A life free of nicotine addiction that can harm their physical, mental, and financial health.”
