Parent eReferral to Tobacco Quitline

The PA Free quitline is funded by the Pennsylvania Department of Health and staffed by trained cessation counselors available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Counseling is available in English and Spanish and can be provided in at least 15 additional languages through a third party. All smokers who enroll in smoking cessation treatment will receive counseling and support consistent with accepted clinical practice guidelines. This treatment includes as many as 5 proactive counseling calls, each designed to help develop problem-solving and coping skills, secure social support, and plan for long-term abstinence. Participants can also call an 800 telephone number as needed for additional support between calls. The timing of counseling calls will be relapse sensitive and include a call 1-2 days after the quit date, another telephone call a week after the first call, and additional calls generally occurring at 2-3-week intervals thereafter.
