Description
Javad Heshmati and co-authors pool in a 2026 review what works to help people quit vaping. No drug is yet approved for this aim, though vaping carries addiction and lung risks. They searched to January 2024 and kept seven trials that tested drugs, digital tools, or teaching content.
Across over three thousand people, help raised the odds of a week free of vaping by about half. The odds of staying quit for a long span looked higher still, though that proof was thin. The field is young, and the team calls for larger, stronger trials.
