What Quit-Smoking Help Is Free Where I Live?
Key takeaways
Choose your province or territory and the tool shows the quitline, a text option and the program website where we have confirmed them, plus any free or covered help stated on an official page. Where we could not confirm a detail, it says so and gives the national number. Nothing you pick leaves your browser.
Help to quit is organized by province, so the right phone number and the list of what is free depend on where you live. Choose yours and you get the line to call, a text option if one exists, and the official page for the program.
How the tool decides what to show
It shows a detail only when we read it on an official government page. A missing number is not a sign that none exists. It means we could not confirm it, so the tool offers the national number and the program website instead.
What to ask when you call
A quit coach or a pharmacist can tell you what applies to you. The printable list in the tool has four questions worth bringing: which options you could combine, which are free or covered for you, how long you would use each, and whether anything you already take changes the choice.
Where to go next
Build a dated routine with the 30-day quit plan builder, read how quit medications are used, or compare the full province-by-province table.

Questions to ask a pharmacist or doctor
- Which options could I combine with support from a quit coach?
- Which of them are free or covered for me, and what do I need to bring?
- How long would I use each, and what side effects should I watch for?
- Does anything I already take, or any health condition I have, change the choice?

Frequently asked questions
Is there a national quit line?
Health Canada lists a toll-free number, 1-866-366-3667, for talking to a quit coach. Several provinces run their own line, which the tool shows when we have confirmed it.
Why do some provinces show no phone number?
We list a number only when we read it on an official page. If a province shows none, use the national number or the program website.
Does the tool store my province?
No. The choice stays in your browser and is not sent anywhere.
