Can free telephone counseling be effective?
People who use telephone counseling are twice as likely to quit as people who don’t get any counseling. Telephone counselors are trained to help quitters avoid common mistakes that might lead to relapse. Also most states offer some kind of free telephone counseling or a “Quitline” for people seeking to quit smoking. To find a Quitline in your area, call the American Cancer Society at 1-800-ACS-2345.
