Helpline counselors tailor their advice to youth callers. Helpline also has a youth oriented self-help fact sheet that is mailed with the Quit Guide. For youth who are caught using tobacco and cited by police, the Helpline has the Youth Diversion Program. Courts and schools statewide refer youth to the Youth Diversion Program for counseling related to tobacco use and other lifestyle choices. The Helpline collaborates with local tobacco control projects, which offer health education community presentations geared toward youth tobacco-use prevention and cessation.
