Frequently asked questions

What is a quitline?
A quitline is a free (or low-cost) phone service that puts you in touch with trained counselors who can help you quit smoking. Most countries run an official one through their national health authority. You usually get phone counseling and referrals to local services. Some quitlines also offer text-message support or an app.
Are quitlines free?
Most national quitlines are free to call. They're usually toll-free numbers paid for by government health departments. A few countries charge a standard local rate, but the counseling itself is free.
Do I need to be ready to quit to call a quitline?
No. You can call before you've decided to quit. Counselors can talk through what's holding you back, help you put a plan together, or just answer your questions about quitting.
What languages are quitlines available in?
Many quitlines support more than one language. The US line (1-800-QUIT-NOW), for example, answers in English and Spanish and uses interpreters for other languages. The country page on this site lists what's available where you are.
How effective are quitlines?
Calling a quitline roughly doubles your chances of quitting compared with going it alone. The World Health Organization recommends phone counseling as a proven way to help. Pair a quitline with nicotine replacement therapy or an app like QuitNow and your odds get better still.
