Current research tells us that the combination of medication and quit coaching results in the highest quit rates.

Unaided quit attempts ("cold turkey"): Quit rate < 5%
With medication and Quit Line counseling: Quit rate up to 4 times better

Offering Free Coaching and Medications to Help Your Patients Quit Tobacco

This saves you time while providing your patients a lifeline.

“Time is always short,” says Dr. Pierce Sherrill of Aurora Healthcare. “I tell my patients, ‘Call the Wisconsin Tobacco Quit Line, they’re sharp, they can help you.’”
