New York State launches free texting program to help teens and young adults quit vaping.

New York State has launched DropTheVape, a free, confidential texting program to help teens and young adults quit vaping. Developed by Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center, the six-week initiative delivers evidence-based, interactive messages via text to build skills for managing stress, cravings, and withdrawal. Targeting youth disproportionately affected by e-cigarette use, the program offers a scalable, accessible option for those seeking support. It complements existing quit resources and is open to all ages. Enrollment is available at dropthevape.org.
