RE: SMOKING CESSATION
www.vermontquitnet.com
QuitNet offers advice, tips and other help for smokers to succeed in their quit attempt. QuitNet develops an individual smoking cessation plan from information the smoker provides on a secure website.
www.VTQuitNetwork.org
800-QUIT-NOW (784-8669)
As of September 2007, teens can call the Vermont Quit Network's phone service without parental consent for free counseling to quit smoking. Teens who use telephone counseling from the Vermont Quit Network will get help to pick a quit date and plan their quit. They can expect to have five calls, which they can arrange at times that accommodate their schedules and privacy. This is the same phone counseling service (run by the American Cancer Society) that offers quit coaching for adults. However, nicotine replacement therapy (like gum, patches, and lozenges) is not available for teens, as it has not been shown to be effective nor is it approved by the Federal Drug Administration.
