From Vapes to Pouches: Helping Kids Avoid & Quit Nicotine

Posted on July 14, 2026

Hosted by Operation Parent

Nicotine use among young people is shifting fast, and it’s not just about vaping anymore. Today’s landscape includes e-cigarettes, nicotine pouches, and dual use that can make quitting even harder. In this webinar with Amy Taylor from Truth Initiative, we’ll break down what parents and caregivers need to know to stay ahead. You’ll learn why nicotine is so addictive, how it impacts developing brains and mental health, and why many young people who want to quit still struggle to do so. We’ll also explore the real reasons kids start and continue using nicotine, from social pressures to stress, and how those factors can become barriers to quitting. Most importantly, this session will focus on what you can do. Walk away with practical, nonjudgmental strategies to start meaningful conversations, help your child find their own motivation to not use and support them whether they’re trying to quit or not quite ready yet.
