California AB886 establishes a grant program for research and interventions to help teenagers quit vaping and nicotine use.

California AB886 adds a section to the Health and Safety Code to establish a grant program for research and interventions aimed at teenage vaping and nicotine cessation. The California Department of Public Health will administer the program, focusing on strategies tailored to adolescents, as traditional nicotine replacement therapies are not suitable for youth under 21. The bill also mandates a pilot program in Los Angeles, Sacramento, and Santa Clara counties to implement targeted intervention programs for youth addicted to nicotine.
