My teen is addicted to vaping. How can I help them quit and manage their withdrawal symptoms?

Retrieved on: 
Monday, September 4, 2023

Rates of teen vaping have been rising rapidly in Australia, from 0.8% of 14- to 17-year-olds describing themselves as a current vaper over the past six months in 2018 to 14.5% in 2023.

Key Points: 
  • Rates of teen vaping have been rising rapidly in Australia, from 0.8% of 14- to 17-year-olds describing themselves as a current vaper over the past six months in 2018 to 14.5% in 2023.
  • Among 18- to 24-year-olds, 19.8% have been a current vaper over the past six months.
  • But at some stage, they will have a drastic reduction in their use of vaping.
  • Some vapes tested in Australia contained 900 milligrams of nicotine – the equivalent of the nicotine in almost 100 cigarettes.

What is nicotine dependence and withdrawal?

    • Nicotine dependence means a person is physically and psychologically addicted to nicotine.
    • This produces a strong desire for, and difficulty controlling, nicotine use.
    • Young people are at greater risk of nicotine dependence than adults and can develop dependence faster.

I don’t even know if my teen vapes …

    • If your teen is unusually irritable or has an unexplained low mood, consider the possibility of nicotine withdrawal, particularly after vapes are no longer readily available.
    • Vapes can be hidden in plain sight, as they look like a highlighter pen or USB stick.
    • During the conversation listen out for hints that mean your teen could be a heavy user of vaping, such as:

So how do I help my teen quit?


    Once you know your teen is vaping, broach the subject of quitting with them in a non-judgemental way. Try questions like “have you ever tried having a break from them?” and “how did that feel?” If they are willing to attempt quitting, or are already withdrawing due to reduced access to vaping products, let them know you are there to support them and help is available.

First try counselling and cold turkey


    The Quitline or a GP can help with goal setting, such as setting a quit date, making a quit plan and identifying triggers for vaping and strategies to address them. There are also online tools your teen may like, such as My Quit Buddy, an app that provides practical tips, progress charts and health information to help with quitting.

Nicotine replacement therapy

    • If counselling alone is not successful, nicotine replacement therapy may help.
    • Nicotine-replacement therapy is available in a fast-release form (used by mouth via a nicotine inhalator, spray, gum, or lozenges) or a slow-release patch.
    • Combination therapy is better when the teen is highly dependant on nicotine and has strong and frequent urges to vape.
    • When using nicotine replacement therapy, adherence is critical to successfully quitting.

Is it okay to kiss your pet? The risk of animal-borne diseases is small, but real

Pet ownership is at an all-time high, with a recent survey finding 69% of Australian households have at least one pet.

Key Points: 
  • Pet ownership is at an all-time high, with a recent survey finding 69% of Australian households have at least one pet.
  • We spend an estimated A$33 billion every year on caring for our fur babies.
  • But some, such as pregnant people and those with weakened immune systems, are at greater risk of getting sick from animals.

What diseases can pets carry?

    • Infectious diseases that move from animals to humans are called zoonotic diseases or zoonoses.
    • Zoonoses can be transmitted directly from pets to humans, such as through contact with saliva, bodily fluids and faeces, or indirectly, such as through contact with contaminated bedding, soil, food or water.
    • Both dogs and cats are also reservoirs for methicillin-resistant bacterium Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), with close contact with pets identified as an important risk factor for zoonotic transmission.
    • Read more:
      Cats carry diseases that can be deadly to humans, and it's costing Australia $6 billion every year

Birds, turtles and fish can also transmit disease

    • Pet birds can occasionally transmit psittacosis, a bacterial infection which causes pneumonia.
    • Contact with pet turtles has been linked to Salmonella infections in humans, particularly in young children.
    • Even pet fish have been linked to a range of bacterial infections in humans, including vibriosis, mycobacteriosis and salmonellosis.
    • Close contact with animals – and some behaviours in particular – increase the risk of zoonotic transmission.

What should I do if I’m worried about catching a disease from my pet?


    There are a number of good hygiene and pet husbandry practices that can reduce your risk of becoming sick. These include:
    It is especially important for those who are at a higher risk of illness to take precautions to reduce their exposure to zoonotic pathogens. And if you’re thinking about getting a pet, ask your vet which type of animal would best suit your personal circumstances.

  • The good news is that Tim and Emma Flannery have written a book that will both thrill and inform such curious readers.
  • Text Publishing’s edition advertises Big Meg as: “The Story of the Largest and Most Mysterious Predator that Ever Lived”.

Truth in a tooth

    • In the absence of a fully fossilised megalodon discovery that might reveal its shape and likely weight, it seems there is still a lot of truth in a tooth.
    • The largest megalodon tooth yet found is “18cm from base to tip” and “almost certainly came from an individual that exceeded 15m in length”.
    • The shape of the tooth and its serrations confirm its job was to kill other marine mammals.
    • For now, the creature, whose arrowhead tooth once sat in his youthful hand – pointing him to the path of palaeontology – exists largely in his imagination: the “megalodon in all its terrifying glory”.
