Beyond the Habit

We’re trialling a free SMS program to support young people (18 – 25 years) in the Illawarra Shoalhaven region who vape or smoke. The 12-week program is designed to give you tips, tools and support to break free from vaping or smoking and improve your wellbeing.

The SMS program is part of a research study where you can receive up to $70 in gift cards (see Terms and Conditions below). To be involved in the study you need to:

  • Be 18 – 25 years of age
  • Live in the Illawarra or Shoalhaven regions
  • Own a mobile phone that can receive text messages (SMS)
  • Have smoked cigarettes or vaped occasionally or daily in the last 4 weeks

Only 50 spaces available. Ready to take the first step? Sign up now!
