Quit Help for Teens

Quitting tobacco is hard—no matter your age. But as a teen, you have different challenges to overcome when trying to quit. On average, it can take more than ten tries to finally quit for good.¹ And the longer you use nicotine, the harder it gets to quit.² But you can do it. If you’re looking for resources, help or just someone to talk to about quitting, you have options that are just for teens.
