The Mississippi Tobacco Quitline is a telephone counseling service for any Mississippian who is ready to quit tobacco. If you or a friend or family member is ready to stop using tobacco, the Tobacco Quitline staff is available to help. Many Mississippians have contacted the Tobacco Quitline to take advantage of professional help to learn to be tobacco free. Information, referrals and counseling are confidential and counseling sessions are designed on a schedule that is convenient to the caller.
Remember that any Mississippian can call the Tobacco Quitline at 1-800-784-8669. The Tobacco Quitline is available from 8 a.m. until 8 p.m. Monday through Friday and from 9 a.m. To 5:30 p.m. on Saturday. Quitting tobacco is never easy, but with help, you are twice as likely to quit tobacco for good.
Healthcare providers interested in a quick and secure way to refer patients may use our fax referral program. The fax referral form is compliant with HIPAA regulations, confidential and easy to use. Once you and your patient sign the form, it can be faxed to the Tobacco Quitline so that staff can contact the patient. Regular progress reports are available to the healthcare provider, if requested, and will keep you informed on the patients efforts to quit tobacco. For more information contact the Mississippi Tobacco Quitline at 1-800-784-8669.
