How Do I Get Started?

Quitting tobacco is a process. Whether you are thinking about quitting, are not yet ready to quit, or have already quit, Colorado QuitLine can help you with each step of the way.

The Program

The Colorado QuitLine is a FREE online service available to Colorado residents 15 years of age and over. When you become a member, you get special tools, a support team of coaches, research-based information, and a community of others trying to become tobacco free. Our expert coaches can talk to you about overcoming common barriers, such as dealing with stress, fighting cravings, coping with irritability, and controlling weight gain.

We also offer a free telephone service, so you can speak to a coach in person, if you'd prefer. Through the telephone program you can receive a free supply of patches too. If you would like the free nicotine patches, you can call the QuitLine at 1-800-QUIT-NOW. Coaches will determine if you are eligible to receive the patches.

What if I don't qualify for the Program?

You must be 15 years of age or older to participate in the program. If you want free nicotine patches, you must be 18 years of age or older. In addition to the Colorado QuitLine, we encourage people under the age of 18 to visit our web site, www.ownyourc.com developed specifically for Colorado teens. It may also be helpful to discuss quitting with your doctor.
