What’s the Quitline?

The Quitline is based here in Hobart, we have Tassie counsellors that can support you all the way through your quitting journey – from getting ready to quit to your final cigarette.

What does a Quitline counsellor do?

They are quitting experts, trained in current, research-based methods on quitting nicotine products like cigarettes and vapes.  Think of them as a free coach, giving you advice on what to do, listening to how you’d like to quit and what your personal circumstances are. One of their jobs is to help support you during the tough times, like after a relapse or when trying to beat cravings and avoid triggers.

Why would you use them?

Because they know what it’s like to quit. In fact, many of our counsellors were smokers themselves and know what it’s like to quit.

They’ve helped hundreds of Tasmanians to quit successfully and have all the tips and advice you need. Having a conversation with them will help them understand what might be best for you. It can make all the difference.

Many people go ‘cold turkey’ and try to quit without any support.  And that’s fine.  But research has shown that getting support from qualified Quit counsellors, along with using products to help with the cravings, will greatly increase your chances of quitting successfully.   Give them a try!
