Quit Plan Builder With a Day-by-Day Calendar
Key takeaways
Choose cigarettes or vaping, set a quit date within 30 days, tick your triggers and hardest times, and the builder creates a dated plan with the quitline for your province, the money you keep and a calendar file. It runs in your browser. A plan is saved only if you ask it to.
A written plan turns a vague intention into a date, a few replacements for your hardest moments and a person to call. The builder asks eight short questions and gives you one page you can print, keep on your phone or add to a calendar.
What the plan contains
Your quit date and your own reason, written in your words. A short idea for each moment when you usually reach for one. The hardest times of day. The people who can support you. The quitline for your province. The money you keep, worked out from your own numbers. A calendar from a week before the date to day 30.
Choosing your date
Pick a day in the next 30 days that you can protect. A week before it, line up your help. The day before, clear cigarettes, lighters and ashtrays, or vapes and chargers. The calendar spells out the steps.
Getting help
Quit coaches and medications are two kinds of help worth asking about. See what is free where you live and how quit medications work. When a craving hits, use craving and slip support, and see what you could keep with the savings calculator.

Health Canada says the risk of a heart attack begins to drop within 24 hours of quitting and that you breathe easier and cough less within weeks (source).
If you slip, it does not cancel your plan. Set a new date or keep going, and call a quit coach. For vaping, programs may support quitting vaping too: ask the program. Phone numbers appear only when confirmed on an official page; the program list comes from Health Canada.

Frequently asked questions
Does the builder send my plan anywhere?
No. Everything stays in your browser. Saving is off unless you tick the box, and you can remove the saved plan at any time.
How far ahead can I set my quit date?
Up to 30 days from today. A date you can keep matters more than a perfect one.
Can I use it to quit vaping?
Yes. Choose vaping, enter what you spend per week, and the rest of the plan works the same way.
