Exploration of Digital Interventions for Vaping Cessation: Scoping Review
Digital interventions show promise for vaping cessation, particularly among youth and young adults, but current evidence highlights both opportunities and limitations. Effective interventions leverage personalization and social support to enhance engagement and quit outcomes. However, challenges such as high dropout rates, accessibility barriers, and limited use of rigorous evaluation methods persist. Future research should prioritize hybrid approaches that combine digital support with human interaction, apply equity-focused design principles, and adopt pragmatic, theory-driven evaluation methods to accelerate translation from pilot success to sustainable public health impact.
