Quit4Youth Programme
Quit4Youth is a seven-week, group stop smoking programme developed specifically for young people. The programme offers behavioural support in a fun, educational and non-judgmental manner. The aim for young people attending the programme is to quit smoking. Please note that while we have confidence in the underpinning evidence in terms of what works to support smoking cessation we do not have access to robust evidence in the cessation of vaping. However, while behavioural support for quitting smoking and medicines for managing nicotine withdrawal have not been developed or tested for stop vaping use, first principles would suggest that they could be useful as a stop vaping aid. We know these medicines have a well-established safety profile, and behavioural supports and techniques for addiction and health behaviour change have been applied successfully to multiple health behaviours. There should be consultation between the young person, GPs and parents/guardians so that they can discuss the pros and cons of using any medication.
