How the Program Works
Picture Quitting offers approximately six weeks of individual, group or
telephone counseling, plus follow-up phone calls for up to one year. All
counseling sessions are free. The first couple of visits with Picture Quitting
prepare you to quit smoking. You and your counselor will choose a "Quit
Day," so don't feel that you have to walk in on day one and quit.
Picture Quitting also provides smoking cessation medications for a small copay. At the first visit, you will learn about medication options so you, your counselor, and MPTF physician can work together to determine which choices are right for you.
For more information, please call us at 818-526-7644 or talk with your MPTF physician.
Picture Quitting was launched by the Entertainment Industry Foundation (EIF) in association with the Motion Picture & Television Fund (MPTF) and with support from the Motion Picture Industry Health Plan (MPIHP) as the first industry-led smoking cessation program ever offered in the United States that combines free counseling with low cost medication.
