TELEPHONE COUNSELING FOR SMOKING CESSATION Meta-analysis of telephone counseling for smoking cessation confirmed a significant increase in cessation rates compared to controls (OR= 1.34, ( ) (Lichtenstein et al., 1996). Telephone counseling for smoking cessation can be effective in ‘real-world’ settings (Zhu et al., 2002). Solomon (2000) found that a proactive telephone support intervention for pregnant smokers showed a non-significant association between treatment conditions and confirmed quits.
