Telephone assistance for smoking cessation: one year cost effectiveness estimations

A L McAlister et al. Tob Control. 2004 Mar.

Abstract

A randomised trial evaluated the American Cancer Society's telephone counselling service to assist smoking cessation. Counselling nearly doubles a smokers' odds of quitting and maintaining cessation for one year. The estimated cost for each case of maintained smoking cessation attributable to counselling availability is approximately 1300 dollars.
