The state offers a free telephone service that provides support to callers looking to quit smoking or using tobacco.  The phone lines are staffed seven days a week, and there is no limit to the number of times a person may call.  The QuitLine is available Monday through Friday from 7:00am-10:00pm central time, on Saturdays from 8:00am-5:00pm, and on Sundays from 10:00am-4:00pm.  There is also free online help at www.tnquitline.org.

The American Lung Association offers an online cessation program that consists of seven sections.  Once you create an account with the website, you can proceed through the sections at your own pace.  The program is available here.
