TEEN TOBACCO USE PREVENTION AND CESSATION INITIATIVE - Quitline NC
Summary of North Carolina's Tobacco Use Quitline
Telephone quitlines help tobacco users quit their addiction by offering advice, support and referrals to local cessation resources. Scientific evidence shows that quitlines are effective tools to help tobacco users quit, and their efficacy for teens and college-age youth use is promising.
Free Quitline NC services are now available at 1-800-QUIT-NOW, which provides proactive cessation support in both English and Spanish. For more information, visit www.QuitlineNC.com.
To ensure the right media messages are utilized for promoting the Quitline among youth, HWTF is currently funding formative research by experts at the UNC School of Public Health.
