A lot of people ask us that. And, we’re glad they do because we know that telephone Quitlines work. Research shows that the best way to quit tobacco is through a program like Call It Quits that combines telephone coaching and nicotine replacement therapy (like the patch). Only 3-5% of people succeed when they try to quit “cold turkey.”

When you call the Quitline at 1-800-QUIT-NOW (784-8669) your call will be answered by a specially trained Quit Coach who understands how hard it is to quit and knows how to help you quit successful. If Call It Quits is the right program for you, the Quit Coach will talk story with you to find out what’s been helpful for you in the past and what hasn’t. From here, he or she will work with you to:

• Help get you ready to quit
• Know what to expect as you quit
• Put together a quit plan that takes into account your personal needs
• Share problem-solving ideas to help you succeed
• Give you the skills to break old habits
• Decide if Nicotine Replacement Therapy (like the patch) is right for you. If it is, they’ll help you get it – whether through your insurance company or through Call It Quits if you’re uninsured

In addition to sending you a helpful Quit Guide with more information on how to quit successfully, your Quit Coach will schedule, at your convenience, further confidential phone sessions so he or she can help you through the entire quitting process until you’re completely tobacco-free.

Call It Quits is completely FREE and confidential, so give us a call. You have nothing to lose and everything to gain. Call 1-800-QUIT-NOW (784-8669) or click here to register for a call-back from a Quit Coach.
