As part of a competition held on the eighty, we asked young people to develop a smoke-free slogan. The winner, Kane, developed the following slogan:
Quit Smoking. Trust me, it's a breath of fresh air
Did you know? Men who smoke are more likely to have problems getting or maintaining an ERECTION, due to the effects of smoking on the blood vessels in the penis.
We need some more participants for our focus groups so if you or your friends have recently quit or thinking about quitting head to the Quit SA facebook fan page and join the event. You get paid $100 for attending the two focus groups, we will also provide you with some snacks. Its good money, all you have to do is give us your opinion!
Quit SA is currently seeking young people aged 18-25 who have recently quit or thinking about quitting to participate in focus groups to help develop a youth specific quit resource. You could get paid to tell us what you think! The dates are the 14th and 21st of July 9.45am-12.30pm. If your aged 18-25 and are free on both of hose days flick us a message or check out the event on the Quit SA fan page http://www.facebook.com/home.php?ref=home#/pages/Adelaide-Australia/Quit-SA/17534941260?ref=ts
The Quit SA website received a makeover in early May and is beginning to offer a number of exciting new features. The new site features a refreshed homepage and a number of key interactive features have been introduced.
Smokers visiting the site now have the opportunity to register on-line to receive a call from the Quitline. They can also order their free Quit Pack on-line and have it mailed directly to them.
So keep an eye on www.quitsa.org.au to see the new look and features take shape

The Quit smoking phoneline (the Quitline) provides information, advice, counselling and support to help smokers quit. Many people find quitting smoking very difficult but with the support of the Quitline, including a callback service, the likelihood of staying quit is increased significantly. To access the Quitline smokers can call 13 QUIT at any time.

Keep up the great work! I wish I could leave a message to you and everyone else on my list of MySpace friends on a regular basis but it is impossible. Fortunately you all seem to understand and you have stayed with me and stood by my cause. Smoking kills those we care about and it is important we do all we can to help them quit and stay quit. Thank you sincerely for your friendship.
