Dial it up, snuff it out

On Nov. 27, the "Today Show" aired a segment called "The Top 5 Phone Numbers That Will Change Your Life." I was pleased to see that they included 1-800-QUIT NOW, a free, confidential counseling service for people who want to quit smoking or chewing tobacco.

Only 3 to 5 percent of smokers who try to quit on their own manage to do so. By checking in with a trained counselor, tobacco users can bump the success rate to 30 percent.

As the holidays approach, consider calling 1-800-QUIT NOW and change not only your life, but your loved ones' as well.

I quit yesterday and was doing okay until you reminded me of smoking. Now, I'm gonna have to go bum one off a coworker.

Thanks a lot!
