A mixed-method exploration of #vapingcessation videos on TikTok.
Background: E-cigarette use has risen rapidly, especially among young people. TikTok is one of the most commonly used social media platforms among young people. The representation of vaping cessation messages in TikTok content remains unexplored. We aimed to address this gap by analyzing the vaping cessation content prevalent on TikTok.
Methods: This cross-sectional mixed methods study analyzed the top 100 TikTok videos-determined based on view-counts-related to vaping cessation. Our quantitative analysis examined video characteristics, while our qualitative analysis identified key thematic representations.
Results: The final sample included 87 videos, with a combined total of over 100 billion views. Most videos were created by regular users (general TikTok content creators) rather than those identifying as health experts or professionals such as doctors, acupuncturists or dental hygienists. Very few posts mentioned evidence-based cessation aids or support. Videos scored high on understandability but low on actionability based on standardized criteria. Qualitative analysis identified nine key themes: motivations for quitting, barriers to quitting, use of aids and strategies, relapse experiences, identity and self-image, celebrating cessation success, emotional journey of quitting vaping, seeking social support, and limited mentions of healthcare providers.
Conclusions: TikTok appears to be a useful influential forum for studying quitting behavior through the sharing of personal experiences and perspectives on vaping cessation. Opportunities exist to integrate evidence-based messaging and support into this platform. Findings can inform social media interventions designed to counter pro-vaping content and promote quitting e-cigarette use.
Implications: Partnerships among health professionals, public health experts, and social media influencers may be leveraged to disseminate proven vaping cessation techniques on leading social media platforms such as TikTok.
