Set your quit date.
When you call, the first person that you will talk to will take your contact information and collect some information about your smoking history. They will then pass you along to one of our certified Quit Coaches. Your Quit Coach will talk to you about building your quit plan, your past attempts at quitting, your past use of smoking medications, and any triggers or stress. You will finish your conversation by finalizing a plan setting a quit date with your coach.
Not only are they trained to give your the best advice possible, but they are often ex-smokers themselves and can relate to your situation.
