When you call the Florida Tobacco Quit-For-Life Line, you'll speak to counselors who are specially trained to help you quit using tobacco. Counselors will ask you several questions, such as how much you smoke or chew, what is motivating you to quit, and when you want to quit. Research shows that it's often helpful to set a quit date a few days or weeks in the future, rather than trying to do so right away. This will allow you the time to fully prepare for quitting. The counselors will help you prepare, set a quit date and give you tips on how to avoid a relapse. You will receive a free quit kit by mail. Call 1-877-U-CAN NOW (1-877-822-6669) to get started.
The Fax to Quit Program allows tobacco users to sign up for services from the Florida Quit-For-Life Line. Many clinics, hospitals, health departments, and businesses across Florida are Fax to Quit sites and have reported success and positive feedback from the program.
How Fax To Quit Works The doctor, health care provider or other professional discusses the free services and how tobacco users can access the QuitLine. If interested, the tobacco user may then complete a Fax to Quit registration form. A QuitLine counselor will follow-up by calling the tobacco user to discuss how to quit. If the tobacco user speaks a language other than English, he or she can indicate the preferred language choice on the enrollment form. A translator will be on the line to greet the tobacco user when the QuitLine counselor calls.
How to get the Fax to Quit form: It's easy and free. Just select the Fax to Quit form
