- Learn how to help a friend or family member quit.
- Find out about free Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT) (You must be 18 or older to get NRT).
- The Quit Line is private with coaches that speak English and Spanish. Other languages are spoken, if needed.
Phone coaching
is one of the best ways to help people quit smoking or chewing tobacco. You don’t need to find a ride or get childcare—just pick up the phone and call.
We cover some smoking cessation products for Medicaid members. You can learn more about these products from your Quit Now coach. Talk to your doctor if you need a prescription.
