Free help to quit smoking, vaping and other tobacco. Call 1-800-QUIT-NOW (1-800-784-8669) for free coaching from your state quitline, or text QUIT to 47848 for SmokefreeTXT. Nicotine patches, gum and lozenges and the prescription medicines varenicline and bupropion are FDA-approved and can double your chances of quitting; ask your doctor or pharmacist which is right for you.
