Why phone counseling? • Statistics show that fewer than 1 in 20 smokers will be successful in quitting tobacco and staying quit.1 • With tailored phone-based coaching, nearly 1 in 3 will be successful in quitting and staying quit.2 1CDC Analysis of data from the 2000 National Health Interview Survey indicated that 4.7% of smokers quit and maintained abstinence for 3-12 months. (CDC. Cigarette Smoking Among Adults – United States, 2000. MMWR. 2002;51:642-645) 2 Free & Clear performance metrics for Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Minnesota, 2006. Based on a 30 day quit rate and a 12 month follow-up.
