Quit Smoking Help
It can be hard to quit smoking, but there is help when you’re ready to quit. Research shows that it can take five to seven attempts to successfully quit smoking (remember, it took you a few tries to start smoking), but you can double your chances of success by using a Vermont Quit Network service.
Free Resources to Help You Quit Smoking
The Vermont Quit Network
Quitting smoking is a choice and may take practice. For most people it doesn't happen the first time, but every try counts. When you decide to try, or try again, the following free services can help you find success. Best of all, if you use the Network, you can get free nicotine replacement - gum, patches or lozenges - shipped right to your door.
Quit Online
The Vermont Quit Network has many online options, including self-help tools and online support. The self-help tools can be found at VTQuitNetwork.org. Or, you can link to our QuitNet online support service, which offers advice, tips, reminder e-mails and access to online chat groups, where you can talk with other smokers who know what you're going through. QuitNet registration is free for Vermonters.

Quit by Phone
The Vermont Quit Network links you with a quit coach who will call at a time that works for you.
