Nothing. All of the resources listed above are free!

Generally, phone-based quit coaching services are provided once per week over 4-6 weeks. When you first call the Quitline, an operator will ask for some information about you and then connect you to a quit coach. This quit coach will then get more information from you about your smoking history and your past tries at quitting.

• In the first call, your quit coach will help you create a quit plan, set a quit date, and help you decide whether to use medications or not.
• In the second call, your quit coach will see how your quit try is going, will encourage you to continue, and will help you work through problems.
• In the third call, your quit coach will cheer for you if things are going well and will provide useful advice if things are not going well.
• In the fourth call, your quit coach will help you see how far you’ve come along and will help you plan to quit for good.
