New Program in Suttons Bay to Help Teens Quit Vaping
Aug. 24, 2024
Leelanau Investing For Teens (LIFT) has launched a new initiative to help local teens and young adults quit vaping. The Suttons Bay-based organization has partnered with Truth Initiative to offer “This Is Quitting,” a free program that uses a text message platform with support, advice, and quitting strategies to help young people stop using e-cigarettes. Per a press release from LIFT, the nationwide program has enrolled over 750,000 users and “had nearly 40% higher odds of quitting compared to a control group” in a JAMA Internal Medicine clinical trial. LIFT Founder and Executive Director Rebekah TenBrink calls the program “an invaluable resource for Leelanau County teens” and “potentially life-saving.” To sign up, text SACREDBREATH to 88709. For more information about the program or to request materials, contact LIFT at (231) 313-5803 or liftyouthsb.com.
