据报道，全州各州高中和中学生的电子烟使用量增加后，州长米尔斯推动了这项运动。自4月启动以来，“书面退出电子烟”运动将持续到2020年底，旨在通过电视，Hulu，Instagram，Snapchat，TikTok，YouTube和网站VapeFreeMaine.com覆盖缅因州的青少年。

该网站和数字广告活动具有书面退出功能，允许年轻人向全国非营利性公共卫生组织运动合作伙伴真理倡议（Truth Initiative）发送免费的匿名书面消息。从4月启动到5月中旬，共有117个人通过该计划寻求帮助。

同样，今年早些时候，肯塔基州公共卫生部（DPH）发起了“这就是戒烟”，希望特朗普的“烟草21号”立法能够促使许多年轻的吸毒者尝试戒烟，并且一旦发生这种情况，他们将能够转向得到这项倡议的支持。该程序针对年龄在13至24岁之间的年轻人，并根据年龄段量身定制，以提供有关退出电子烟的适当建议。

一项进行中的研究分析了退出电子烟短信程序

同时，最近的一项旨在评估短信戒烟计划（“戒烟”）在促进年轻人中戒除电子烟方面的有效性的研究。这是“退出”是由“真相倡议”发起的免费移动程序。

美国将通过网络广告招募2600名年轻电子烟民（年龄在18-24岁之间）参加该研究，他们将被随机分为“这是戒烟”或仅用于评估的对照情况。主要结果指标是入选后7个月的30天电子烟戒断。研究招募始于2019年12月，预计将于2020年春季完成。

US: Maine Anti-Vaping Campaign Urges Teens to Quit Via Social Media

July 22, 2020

Governor Mills pushed for the campaign after an increase in e-cigarette use amongst State high school, and middle school students, was reported across the State. Launched in April, the “Text to quit vaping” campaign will continue through the end of 2020, aiming to reach teens in Maine via television, Hulu, Instagram, Snapchat, TikTok, YouTube, and the website VapeFreeMaine.com.

The website and digital campaign ads have a text-to-quit feature, allowing young people to send a free, anonymous text message to campaign partner Truth Initiative, a national nonprofit public health organization. Just between its launch in April until mid-May, 117 individuals had asked for help via the program.

Similarly, earlier this year Kentucky’s Department for Public Health (DPH) launched “This is Quitting” in the hope that Trump’s “tobacco 21” legislation would drive many young vapers to try quitting, and that when this happens, they will be able to turn to this initiative for support. The program is aimed for young people aged between 13 and 24, and is tailored by age group in order to give appropriate recommendations about quitting vaping.

Ongoing Study Analyses Quit Vaping Text Message Program

Meanwhile, a recent study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of a text message quit vaping program (This is Quitting) in promoting abstinence from e-cigarettes among young adults. This is Quitting is a free mobile program launched by The Truth Initiative.

A total of 2600 young adult (aged 18-24 years) vapers in the United States will be recruited via web advertisements to participate in the study, and they will be randomized to “This is Quitting” or an assessment-only control situation. The primary outcome measure is 30-day vaping abstinence at 7 months post enrollment. Study recruitment began in December 2019, and was expected to be completed by Spring 2020.
