You can quit together.
We can help.
Are you ready to quit tobacco or nicotine together? Alaska’s Tobacco Quit Line can help family members and friends quit at the same time.
It’s free. It’s confidential.
And it works.
“The Quit Line was there for us to call when we had urges and they checked in on us throughout our quit. The benefits of quitting are immeasurable.”
– Malinda from Wasilla
Benefits to quitting tobacco or nicotine products together:
- It increases chances of a successful quit and reduces chances of relapse.
- You have a partner in your quit. Quitting is tough and having an accountability buddy can help.
- Alaska’s Tobacco Quit Line can create custom quit plans for each person. You can each choose your preferred form of nicotine replacement therapy.
Tips to help you quit:
- Set a quit date — Setting a date for your quit makes you more likely to follow through.
- Write down your reasons for quitting — Are you quitting for your health? For your loved ones? To save money? Knowing your “why” will help you stay motivated, especially in difficult moments.
- Identify your triggers — Where and when do you smoke, vape, or chew? With your morning coffee? With certain people or in specific places? The more you know your triggers, the better you can plan to deal with them.
- Make a plan — Who can you reach out to for support? Can you ask your friends, family, and coworkers not to use tobacco or nicotine products around you? How will you deal with your triggers and get through cravings? Your quit coach will work with you to make a plan that is right for you.
- Remove tobacco and nicotine products from your home, car, and workplace.
