A new study in the Journal of the American Medical Association found that nearly half of adolescents who vape have wanted to quit.

The study, published on Aug. 17, was conducted by the Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC) and focused on adolescents in the United States aged 12 to 17 who vape. These individuals are the most at risk for nicotine addiction, toxicant exposure, and possibly transitioning to using cigarettes.
