​Exploring Youth Vaping/Smoking Cessation and Prevention on PEI:

The Exploring Youth Vaping/Smoking Cessation and Prevention on PEI Project was
conducted by LungNSPEI in 2022 and made possible through funding by the PEI Alliance for
Mental Well-Being. Our project aimed to increase knowledge of the gaps and opportunities
in PEI nicotine prevention and cessation programs/services for youth (aged 11-21) and
increase awareness of the factors that help youth in PEI live a nicotine-free lifestyle and
mitigate the toxic stress caused by nicotine addiction.

The purpose of this project was to create evidence-informed recommendations for youth
focused cessation opportunities (both within and outside the health system) and build
support among community and government stakeholders for system level change on Prince
Edward Island (PEI) for youth nicotine cessation/prevention programming.
