Vaping and smoking: apps and supports for youth and young adults

Quash is a judgement-free app for teens to help them quit smoking or vaping —the way they want! Set goals, track cravings, earn badges and access tools and tips. Available on the App Store or Google Play

This app challenges the audience to stop vaping for as long as they can with a timer that tracks seconds, minutes, and hours. Invite friends to join the challenge through the app, track mood and cravings, record photo and video memories, and find local resources on quitting vaping. Available on the App Store and Google Play

Crush the Crave provides supportive messages, virtual awards and help for dealing with cravings. Track the number of days vape-free, amount of money saved, and triggers. Available on the App Store and Google Play.

Nod is a website (https://nodfrom2050.ca/eng-ca/) that encourages its audience to reflect on their long-term goals around vaping nicotine. The audience can also send a virtual postcard “to celebrate the younger you who decided to quit vaping.”

The Expand Project is an initiative to both start and expand conversations around nicotine and tobacco amongst queer and trans young adults ages 18-29. Home (expandproject.ca)

Informed by, and made for queer and trans young adults, the project is working to create and share accurate information and resources encouraging folks to reflect on their own smoking and vaping use both personally, and as a larger community.

Having a personalized quit plan (notanexperiment.ca) can help you on your way to becoming vape-free. This website guides you through creating your plan, which you can download or email to yourself.
