Text Support

Receive support on the go with scheduled text messages customized to your quit date. Text keywords for additional help when you need it the most, and chat with a live Quit Coach during our business hours.

What to expect

Tailored to your quit journey

We have updated and expanded our text program to have three program streams with tailored messages based on your quit journey, whether that is:
- Quitting Smoking
- Quitting Vaping
- Quitting Smoking and Vaping.

Scheduled messages

Text messages will start arriving daily and slow down as you need less support. If you set your past or future quit date, these messages will deal with the symptoms and problems you're dealing with at every step. For those still thinking about quitting, or after a slip and not ready to quit again, set your status to thinking and we will help you get there.
