stopsmokingsiteCVS pharmacies have decided to stop selling cigarettes, according to several media reports.

Will you quit, too?

A free automated self-help “Stop Smoking” website is available in both English and Spanish to give Latinos various resources and tools to quit and track their quit progress.

Visit the website in English or Spanish.

The website is part of a study led by Redes En Acción: The National Latino Cancer Research Network, which is funded by the National Cancer Institute. The study is a collaboration between researchers at the Institute for Health Promotion Research (IHPR) at The UT Health Science Center at San Antonio and the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF).

Participants’ smoking status will be evaluated at 1, 3, and 6 months.

This project has a very strict privacy policy, and only researchers will have access to personally identifiable information. The study website site is a self-help health resource. It is not intended to be a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.

You can follow the study also on Facebook.
