RESOURCES

ILLINOIS TOBACCO QUITLINE

The Illinois Tobacco Quitline (ITQL) is funded by the Illinois Department of Public Health to provide free tobacco cessation services.   The use of nicotine replacement therapies and medications are integrated into the cessation program, with a special emphasis on behavioral modification.

Counseling is the backbone of the Illinois Tobacco Quitline program. Clients are educated and counseled in tobacco cessation to create a solid basis for a plan tailored to each individual’s needs. Throughout the counseling process the client and counselor will discuss the “ins and outs” of physical addiction and withdrawal, behavior patterns and triggers as obstacles to quitting, distracters and coping strategies. 

ITQL staff are registered nurses, respiratory therapists and certified tobacco treatment specialists that attend accredited Nicotine Dependence training programs at renowned medical research and education centers, to become skilled in smoking cessation therapies.

The Illinois Tobacco Quitline’s performance is reviewed on an ongoing basis so that the best possible service can be provided. All aspects of the Quitline service are evaluated by clients and partners to ensure quality control.
