The potential of quitlines to increase smoking cessation
Open accessAbstract
Quitlines are increasingly becoming a core smoking cessation resource. This paper canvasses the potential of quitlines and briefly reviews the evidence for their utility. Quitlines can be an effective means of helping smokers quit. They can provide a triage service helping to direct smokers to the most appropriate assistance, and they can provide cessation help, either one-off sessions or systematic programmes of call-back counselling. Quitlines have features that uniquely place them to provide effective, accessible and affordable cessation help to large numbers and they can be modified readily to meet the needs of groups with special needs, including the capacity to act as part of co-ordinated care with face-to-face services. Quitlines are likely to become an even more important part of tobacco control infrastructure over the next few years.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
