Wyoming Helps Tobacco Users Quit

Wyoming teens who want to stop using tobacco products, including electronic cigarettes and other vaping devices, are being encouraged to enroll in a free program designed just for them and recently made available through the Wyoming Department of Health. The program is offered by National Jewish Health, the nation’s largest nonprofit tobacco quit-line provider. My Life, My Quit is a resource that can help teens quit vaping or using other tobacco products. According to the 2018 Prevention Needs Assessment, 36 percent of Wyoming high school students and 11 percent of Wyoming middle school students reported they currently vape. The My Life, My Quit program includes educational materials designed for teens and created with input from teens, subject matter experts and community stakeholders. Teens can text or call a dedicated toll-free number (1-855-891-9989) or can visit mylifemyquit.com for real-time coaching.
