(CNN) More teens in the United States are using e-cigarettes, and now there's a program specifically for youth who want to quit vaping or smoking.

National Jewish Health, a hospital in Denver, launched the My Life, My Quit tobacco and vaping cessation program Monday for youth under the age of 18. Teens in nine states -- Colorado, Massachusetts, Michigan, Montana, North Dakota, Nevada, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Utah -- can call or text the helpline at 1-855-891-9989 or go online to mylifemyquit.com . Teens will then be routed to a trained youth coach who can provide free and confidential live counseling sessions.

"We launched a specific teen quitline which reflects that teens want to make their own decisions," said Thomas Ylioja, clinical director of health initiatives programs at National Jewish Health. "They don't want to be told to quit ... the decision to stop is theirs, and we're here to support them."

The nine states that currently have the My Life, My Quit program were involved with its initial development, but the "hope is to be able to offer to additional states in the near future," according to Ylioja.
