Tobacco use is a major risk factor for heart disease and stroke, lung diseases, diabetes, and multiple cancers. Quitting reduces these risks. A person’s chance of successfully quitting doubles when quit coaching and U.S. Food and Drug Administration-approved cessation medication are used in combination.

Texas Tobacco Quitline

Quitting is hard but finding resources does not have to be. The Texas Tobacco Quitline offers free, confidential, and convenient cessation services to Texas residents ages 13 and older. This includes quit coaching, up to 8 weeks of nicotine replacement therapy, access to combination nicotine replacement therapy (use of a short- and long-acting nicotine replacement therapy medication together), and a youth program for those ages 13-17.

If you are ready to quit, we can help. Call 877-937-7848 (877-YES-QUIT) or visit YesQuit.org to get started on your quit journey today.
