Quitting Is Hard. Now Helping Them Is Easy.
The Hawaii Tobacco Quitline is a free local service for anyone who lives in Hawaii who wants to quit smoking or using tobacco. This service is provided by a company that has been treating tobacco dependence with evidence -based methods for more than 20 years.
We realize that many people living in Hawaii do not have health insurance, others may have insurance that offers a quit tobacco program, and others may prefer to use a community program to help them quit. We work with everyone in Hawaii to find the best support for them or their loved ones – whether that is a local community class, a program offered by their health plan or the Hawaii Tobacco Quitline program.
If you would like to learn more about the Hawaii Tobacco Quitline and the services we provide, please feel free to call us at 1-800-QUIT-NOW. A specially trained Quit Coach will be happy to answer your questions. Additionally, we have a variety of materials for health care professionals and educators. If you would like to request any of these materials, fill out the form on this page.
