The release noted that people smoke out of habit, because they are ad- dicted, to relax, for the stimulation, or a combina- tion of these and other factors. However, there are also many smokers' who recognize the dangers and would like to quit but can't seem to do _ so _ by themselves. The Bureau has realized this and recently came up with a toll free telephone number for smokers who would like to join the quitting team. The number, 1-800-387-0661, is known as the Quit Line and started on Jan. 1. The Quit Line, a short taped message, of- fers immediate support in- formation for Canadians who pledged to quit smok- ing as part of their 1986 New Year's resolutions. The number will operate 24 hours a day in both English and French until Feb. 8, the release added. The Addiction Research Foundation and the Cana- dian Council on Smoking and Health have cooperated in the develop- ment of the Quit Line as part of their ongoing public health education activities. "We recognize that for many smokers, quitting is a difficult challenge,' ex- plained Dr. Lynn Kozlowski, a scientist with ARF. "For some, a New Year's resolution marks the beginning of an attempt to stop smoking. The Quit Line is designed to give this group immediate support."' The tape offers strategies on quitting and gives the caller tips on how to make it through the initial period of withdrawal. Callers are encouraged to set a firm Quit Date and to stop smoking and start spending more time in places where smoking is restricted, such as the No Smoking sections of restaurants. People who want to quit | smoking should remain both optimistic and patient, the Bureau release said. These people should remember that they are not alone in their battle. In 1983, an estimated 40 per cent of Canada's 5.9 million smokers tried to kick their habit. If you can't get through to the Quit Line, an address has also been provided by the Bureau.
