Talk to us

When you call the NWT Help Line, the person answering the phone will be trained to help people like you quit smoking. Fighting an addiction can be a difficult and lonesome journey but the NWT Help Line responders are there for you!

What to expect when you call

Every call to the NWT Help Line is private and confidential.

If you want to quit smoking, Help Line responders will look at the things in your life that make you want to smoke and will work with you to come up with changes to your daily routine to help you quit. They will also help you develop a Quit Plan, which includes selecting a quit day, and give you all the support and resources you will need to kick the habit for good!

Let’s stay in touch

It’s a fact that the first few days of quitting are the hardest. But it’s important to have support throughout your quitting journey. If you want to stay in touch, responders can schedule follow-up calls to provide support, answer whatever questions you may have and to keep you focused on your goals.
