| Tobacco Quit Line
Do you smoke cigarettes, cigars, or pipes? Chew tobacco? If you do and want to stop, or are thinking about it, the quit line is here to help. You may have tried quitting before. Maybe even more than once. Don't worry!
|
Becoming tobacco-free takes practice. In fact, most people try several times before they give up tobacco for good. |
That's why we developed the Washington State Tobacco Quit Line. To help you successfully quit. The Web site provides tips to help you quit and all the information you need to know about calling the quit line.

Merry
Quit Coach
I smoked for 25 years before I decided to quit. I understand how
smokers feel and what it means to give up smoking, especially if
you’ve been doing it for decades. That’s why my most rewarding
experiences have been helping long-time smokers. Some have smoked
for more than 50 years! I draw on my experience and tell people that
they have the ability to change, no matter how long they’ve been
smoking.
