To help Hispanic and Latinx adults learn how to quit, the New York State Quitline (Quitline) now offers a Spanish-language version of its Learn2QuitNY texting program, called Vivir sin tobacco es Vida (Vivir).
 
Interested participants can enroll in Vivir by texting DÉJELO YA NY to 333888 or visiting 
nysmokefree.com/TEXTO. The program, designed through evidence-based research by experts at Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center in Buffalo, N.Y., delivers automated and interactive daily texts over multiple weeks to help participants develop the skills required to achieve long-term cessation from any tobacco product.
