Colorado QuitLine

The Quitline is a free tobacco cessation program based on proven strategies that have helped more than 1.5 million people quit tobacco. Professional quit coaches and online community provide the support you need. Plus, they connect you to resources like nicotine quit medications.  Whether you’re ready to quit today, are just curious about quitting, or you’re supporting a loved one who uses tobacco, the Quitline can help.

The Quitline offers three programs. Choose the best program for you based on your style of communication and the level of support you’re seeking.

Enrollment is simple, so you can focus your energy on quitting tobacco. 

  • Select the Quitline program that works best for you.
  • Develop a quit plan.  We will help you develop an individual quit plan that is right for you.  Your quit plan will include details such as the date you commit to quit, who you’ll tell, and a list of tobacco triggers and how you will overcome them.
  • If you decide to use quit medications, we’ll help you select and order them.  A quit medication can double or triple your chances of quitting for good.  We offer nicotine patches, gums, and lozenges, among other options.
  • Follow your quit plan.  As you do this, we’ll give you guidance and support for overcoming challenges, managing stress, handling slips, and rewarding yourself as you hit milestones.
  • If you select a plan that includes coaching, be sure to respond to your quit coach when they check in—and reach out to your coach whenever you need extra support.  Coaches are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
