Tobacco Use Prevention
Wisconsin Tobacco Quit Line
The Wisconsin Tobacco Quit Line offers a single access point to tobacco addiction treatment. The Quit Line, managed by the University of Wisconsin Center for Tobacco Research and Intervention (UW-CTRI), offers a variety of services, including:
- One-on-one practical telephone counseling. Quit Line tobacco addiction treatment specialists provide specific strategies on quitting for good.
- Free Information. For friends, family and tobacco users, the Quit Line provides information on tobacco use, dependence and addiction treatment. Friends and family members can get information on how to help someone they know quit using tobacco.
- Referrals to local tobacco addiction treatment programs and services. Quit Line tobacco addiction treatment specialists have a list of resources from all over Wisconsin so they can refer callers to established programs within their own area.
