How Telephone Counseling Works
You talk to a counselor when it's convenient for you. You get the individual support you need - whether you have questions or concerns about quitting, or need help to plan for your quit attempt, or want to know how to support someone who is trying to quit. Whatever you need, the Quit Line counselor is there for you.
What the Quit Line Can Do
If you're ready to quit , you can get a customized quitting plan, which includes a counseling session and a quit kit.
If you're not quite ready to quit, Quit Line staff can help you figure out what next steps you need to take and can send you the right information . You will also get names of resources in your community, such as classes, to contact.
