Read “Smoke | Quit”
Using the Smoke|Quit booklets can more than DOUBLE your chances of quitting.1
What Smoke | Quit does for you
Smoke|Quit is a pair of mini-booklets written by two undergraduate students. It is not your parents’ lame book telling you to quit smoking. Smoke|Quit booklets include: self-quizzes about your smoking, tips for dealing with people who nag you to quit, info about issues that matter to you, and personalized strategies to help you quit on your own. Even better – these mini-booklets were evaluated in a randomized controlled trial and found to help more students quit than the typical adult quit-smoking books*
