97. Truth Initiative x She Persisted: A Roundtable Discussion on Vaping, Teen Nicotine Use, and Quitting Substances as a Young Adult

https://truthinitiative.org/ (Truth Initiative) is America's largest nonprofit public health organization dedicated to a future where tobacco and nicotine addiction are things of the past. In this roundtable with Truth Initiative, we discuss the prevalence of teen nicotine use, what happens when adolescents use nicotine (biologically, mentally, socially, etc), smoking cigarettes vs. vaping, the average age of onset, the mental health implications of vaping, This is Quitting as a resource (what it is, why it works, what to expect, etc), other resources that can be helpful on your quitting journey, and Megan + Jake's advice for teens currently trying to quit.
ABOUT MEGAN: As the managing director of products for the Innovations center at Truth Initiative, Megan Jacobs brings an empathic, user-centered approach to product design that is key to the successful quit-smoking and vaping programs used by hundreds of thousands of people looking to break free from addiction.
ABOUT JAKE: Jake Warn is a 21-year-old college student who's passionate about telling his story about the effects of vaping nicotine and the impact that it had on his mental health. Jake was also recently awarded the truth IMPACT Scholarship honoring the actions he has taken to address youth tobacco, e-cigarette, and nicotine use in his community, and to support youth mental health.
