NORWAY — Healthy Oxford Hills is once again sponsoring a Quit and Win Contest and smokers from the Oxford Hills area who quit smoking for five weeks – from Jan. 11 until Valentine’s Day – will have a chance of winning cash prizes of $250, $100 and $50.

Quitters can practice cutting down by using nicotine replacement products sold over the counter and which may also be available for free through Maine’s Tobacco Helpline, 1-800-207-1230, which also offers personalized support on an ongoing basis. Quitters can also see their doctor to talk about a prescriptions which will cut nicotine cravings.

Studies show that more than 70 percent of current smokers want to quit, and many have tried. The Great American Smoke Out is on Thursday, Nov. 11, and may be a chance for quitters to practice.
