ProductsMayo Clinic Tobacco Quitline:
Overview
Mayo Clinic Tobacco Quitline is a URAC-

Telephonic Tobacco Cessation Program With Exceptional
Quit Rates
Tobacco use is harmful to individuals and your organization. Research indicates that smokers have significantly higher health care costs, higher absenteeism rates and are less productive. In fact, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), it costs employers $3,300 per year for every tobacco user, or $1,300 more than a nonsmoking individual.
Mayo Clinic Tobacco Quitline provides the kind of personalized support your people need to quit. Mayo Clinic physicians, nurses, researchers and professional counselors designed this innovative, telephone-based program. Drawing on the extensive resources of Mayo Clinic, only Mayo Clinic Tobacco Quitline offers:
- Professional, degreed counselors who receive training from the Mayo Clinic Nicotine Dependence Center
- Protocols based on the latest addiction and treatment research from the Mayo Clinic Nicotine Dependence Center and behavior change theory
- Personalized quit plans with program materials tailored to the participants' needs, including an interactive workbook that guides callers through each stage of change
- Access to the Ask Mayo Clinic nurse line 24 hours a day, seven days a week for help with nicotine withdrawal symptoms
