Resources for quitting smoking or vaping

What can I do to quit smoking?

There are plenty of resources to help you quit smoking.

Many smokers who quit do so on their own with self-help resources, with quit smoking aids or with the help of a professional.

Where can I get help to quit smoking?

Concordia students, staff and faculty can meet with a health promotion specialist for free one-on-one smoking cessation counselling. Concordia employees covered by the Sunlife health plan can also choose to use the Can Quit program (at no cost), which offers coaching, support, and follow-up over a 6-month period.

You can book an appointment with a doctor to discuss medications that can help with cravings.

You can get support from a pharmacist, including getting nicotine replacement products as well as medications that can help with cravings. Book through Clic Santé.

You can get telephone support from quit smoking specialists by calling the I Quit Now hotline: 1 866 JARRETE (527-7383).

Everyone in Quebec can get in-person, professional support from their Quit-Smoking Centre, located in a nearby CLSC or hospital.
