Examining the significance of urban–rural context in tobacco quitline use: does rurality matter?

Abstract: Smokers in rural areas are less likely to use the New Zealand Quitline, even after controlling for confounding factors. This suggests that the national quitline is less effective in reaching rural smokers and more attention to the promotion of smoking cessation in rural communities is needed.
