As soon as you call the Smokers’ Helpline you will be connected with a quit coach who will help guide you through the process and mail out a packet of information to you.
Our coaches are experienced working with a wide range of people looking to quit smoking. They were trained to help you to set your own pace and to create a personalized quit program to give you all the resources and skills that will help you stay quit.
Your quit coach can:
- Tell you about medicines that can help you quit smoking
- Answer your questions about a quit-smoking medicine you are using
- Talk about little things you can change that will make quitting smoking easier
- Give you personalized, one-on-one counseling over the phone
- Talk with you about avoiding weight gain as you quit
- Talk with you about in-person support groups in your area
