Support from family and friends

Many people find their main support comes from family and friends. Ask them to support you, even when things get tough.

Doctor/health professional

Support from your doctor or health professional.

My QuitBuddy

My QuitBuddy is an app personalised to help you quit smoking, on your terms. Using My QuitBuddy you can choose when to quit. You can choose if you’re ready to quit right now, or intend to quit smoking soon.

My QuitBuddy also allows you to program danger times for when you know a craving might strike. At danger times, My QuitBuddy provides a reminder of why you chose to quit, offers games to distract you or can connect you to the Quitline to make sure you stay quit.
