You want to stop smoking?

Available resources

It’s not easy to overcome a tobacco addiction.  Fortunately, there are a lot of resources for people who want to be free of tobacco.  Here are some of them:

The iQuitnow (j’Arrête) helpline (1-866-527-7383)
This is a free service for people wishing to quit smoking.  Smokers have access to specialists who can help them overcome their tobacco addiction.  The service is available from 8:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. on Mondays to Thursdays and from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. on Fridays.  There is also a stop smoking website at iquitnow.qc.ca

Stop smoking centres
Most of Quebec’s CLSCs have stop smoking centres that offer a range of free services.  Smokers can meet with specialists – usually health sector workers – who will support them as they learn to live without tobacco.  Services are available throughout Québec.

The Youth Coalition Against Smoking (ycas.info website)
The site is designed to appeal to kids.  Its simple, dynamic content helps those who want to quit smoking.

The Quit to Win challenge
Smokers are invited to quit smoking for six weeks, starting on March 1st.  They must register before that date.

Smoke-Free Family
A smoke-free family is a family whose members – whether smokers and non-smokers – have decided to live in a smoke-free environment.  Why not join?  (The website is in French only.)
