What to Expect

When you call the Wisconsin Tobacco Quit Line, you’ll speak with a Quit Line coach. They will help you develop a plan that’s right for you. They won’t judge you. Many are former smokers who have been in the same boat before. They’ll ask you several questions, such as how much you smoke or chew, what motivates you to quit and when you want to quit. Research shows it’s often helpful to set a quit date a few days or weeks in the future, rather than trying to do so right away. This will allow you the time to fully prepare for quitting. Your Quit Line coach will:

• Help you prepare to quit smoking, vaping or chewing nicotine.
• Set a quit date.
• Tailor the service to your needs. For details, click here.

Quit Line coaches also provide:

• Tips on how to quit.
• Medications to help people quit.
• Information on other resources to help you quit using tobacco products.
• A passcode to access Web Coach, an online forum for peers and quit coaches. Or, register online.

Here’s what teens can expect. Our Quit Line coaches have extensive training in telephone coaching. Many are former smokers who know what it’s like to quit tobacco use. All have college degrees in health education or psychology. Many have master’s degrees in these fields. Call 800-784-8669 to get started, or register online. When you’re ready to quit, we’re ready to help.
