Tobacco Prevention and Cessation
The Florida Quitline:
A helping hand when you need it the most.
Each year, thousands of Floridians quit using tobacco. Many more try, but fail. The Florida Quitline was established to help those with a desire to free themselves from cigarettes, smokeless, and all other forms of tobacco. The Quitline services are free of charge and offered in both English and Spanish.
Here's how it works:
1. With a single, toll-free call to 1-877-U-CAN-NOW (1-877-822-6669), you can schedule an appointment with one of the Quitline's trained counselors.
2. At an approximate time of your choosing, one of these skilled professionals will call you back to work with you one-on-one. Together, you'll develop a plan to finally rid yourself of tobacco for good.
3. Our tobacco specialists will be there for you 24 hours a day 7 days a week to support you, offer tips, and provide any information you may need. If you're ready to BE FREE,
