Smoking Since
My Teens
“I started smoking when I was 16. That was 20 years ago! My kids had been on me for years to quit. So I joined the quitline and they mailed me my information packet.I followed the information in the packet, picked out my quit date just like the pamphlet instructed, and stuck to it. And guess what? After all this time smoking, I was able to quit! For me, it worked to go cold turkey (with the help of lots of mints). My kids are so happy that I did it.”

The Quitline is free to participants. Your public health department, health plan or employer pays the program costs. If you choose to use nicotine quit medications, such as nicotine gum or patches, you may be eligible to receive 2 weeks or more for free. After that, there may be a cost for medication. When you enroll in the Quitline program, we'll help you work through these details.
You may be eligible to receive the first 2 weeks of quit medication for free. After that, you may be eligible for additional free quit medication through the Quitline based on your health plan and employer. Enroll in the program to learn more.
We offer an Online Only program with our website and other online materials. However, research shows people who use coaching are more likely to successfully quit. Completing even a few calls with a quit coach could make a difference for you. Learn more about the Quitline programs.
