Want to Quit Smoking? Call Buffalo! 

But it turns out you can also dial 311 to quit smoking!

If you do, you’ll be connected to one of about 50 people sitting in a well-lit room at the Roswell Park Cancer Institute up in Buffalo, NY. They’re waiting for your call.

There’s a 15-minute screening process where they ask you if you’ve ever smoked before and if you’ve had a heart attack in the last few weeks. Then you have to decide if you want them to send you a two-week supply of Nicorette gum or some nicotine lozenges.

I got Debbie. That’s not her real name.

Thank you for calling, this is Debbie speaking, how may I help you?
