FCPR helped to develop Quit Smoking NOW (QSN), a 6-session smoking cessation program developed by ex-smokers for those who want to become ex-smokers. Throughout the six sessions, a tobacco treatment specialist (TTS) worked with participants in a supportive group setting to facilitate the cessation process by providing the information and tools needed to become tobacco free. QSN also offered access to nicotine replacement therapies (NRT) such as patches, gum and lozenges, to help manage withdrawal symptoms.
A QSN website also allowed QSN participants to send an E-card to encouragers as well as receive text messages that motivate them to stay tobacco free.
This website was funded by the FSU College of Medicine Area Health Education Center (AHEC).
