Utah Teen Tobacco Cessation Resources-  2006
Introduction

Over the past several years it has become apparent that Utah's youth need specially designed services to help them quit using tobacco. Prior to this time only adult-based programs existed. While these programs were adequate for adults, they were lacking important components for youth. In addition, youth were resistant to attend classes or other programs that were predominantly made up of adult participants. 


The following information relates to youth-specific programs that are available. They can play a vital role in helping youth quit and stay quit. 
Utah Teen Quit Line- 1-888-567-TRUTH

The Teen Quit Line is a statewide, toll-free telephone based resource available to all Utah teens interested in support for quitting tobacco. Parents or friends of teens are also able to receive assistance in how to help their teen/friend quit tobacco. This service provides screening, counseling, support materials and referral to additional cessation assistance when appropriate.

Hours of operation: Monday – Sunday: 6am – 10pm

. 
For more information telephone 1-888-567-TRUTH.
