What Works
All forms of quit coaching can be used separately or together, to help any person who smokes, vapes, or uses tobacco to become tobacco free. Quit Coaching thorugh QuitlineNC is available by phone, text, and the internet (BreatheEasyNC, 2023).
The Quitline has a large population-based reach and utilizing QuitlineNC services makes it more likely that this will be the last time you ever have to try to quit (QuitlineNC, 2023). In a historical tobacco farming community and rural county, this helps Johnstonians access free tobacco cessation resources in a way that is accessible to them (via phone, text, and the internet).
