QUIT is the UK charity that saves lives by helping smokers to stop. QUIT runs the Quitline, a freephone service that lets callers speak to trained counsellors about stopping smoking. Most callers are smokers who want help kicking the habit. But smokers’ friends and family, and anyone affected by smoking, are welcome to call for a chat. QUIT also runs Asian Quitline and the Break Free schools programme, which takes QUIT’s work into the classroom.

Contact Us
To speak to QUIT’s friendly trained counsellors, who can offer advice and information, call the Quitline free on 0800 00 22 00. Call this number if you want to stop smoking or if you’re thinking about it. Talking through your options can be a huge help. You should also call this number if you want to help a friend or relative to quit or for information on products and services that can help smokers stop.

QUIT now operates an e-counselling service too. This puts you in touch with the same counsellors, and the same quality of information and advice. Many people like the human contact a phone call offers. But we appreciate that many others prefer the anonymity of e-mail. To use this service, e-mail stopsmoking@quit.org.uk.

You can reach the QUIT office on 020 7251 1551. You should call this number if you’re a teacher and you want to find out more about QUIT’s publications and services.
