You want to quit. We want to help.
The AADAC Smokers' Help Line is a free, confidential telephone service for smokers. Calls are answered by a trained counsellor who can help you develop an individual quit plan, offer information, or refer you to services available in your community.
Telephone counsellors can offer information about
- how to quit
- benefits of quitting
- withdrawal symptoms
- managing stress
- dealing with relapses
- working through cravings
- seeking support
Whether you are ready to quit now, or just want some information, Smokers' Help Line counsellors offer non-judgmental information and support. Call if you
- want to quit
- are thinking about quitting
- have already quit and need support
- have tried to quit, but have started smoking again
- don't want to quit
- know you should quit, but aren't ready
- want to support someone else to quit
Help Line hours: 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., seven days per week
