Participants receive proactive coaching sessions, access to online resources, and, if eligible, free NRT. Coaches provide personalized support to help you develop a quit plan and manage cravings.

While we highly recommend coaching due to its effectiveness, the QuitLine also offers an Online-Only program with self-help materials. However, research shows that individuals who engage with a coach are more likely to quit successfully.

While you can’t enroll someone else directly, you can gather information and encourage them to reach out to the QuitLine themselves. Providing them with resources and expressing your support can be very helpful.

The QuitLine offers educational materials and guidance on how to support someone quitting tobacco. Visit the Helping Friends and Family page for more information.

Health care providers can refer patients through fax, web-based referrals, or electronic health record (EHR) systems. Active referrals are more effective than simply advising patients to call.

Referrals typically require the patient’s contact information, tobacco use status, and any relevant medical conditions that may affect the use of nicotine replacement therapy (NRT). Ensure that the patient consents to the referral.

The QuitLine will attempt to contact the patient within 48 hours, making up to three call attempts. Providers will receive progress reports at 3 weeks, 3 months, and 6 months after the referral. Participants can “Consent to Text” to receive a text alert prior to their coaching calls.
