Why get support?

Quitting smoking can be difficult, but support can make a big difference. Help Me Quit says people using their service are up to 3 times more likely to quit than people who try to quit alone. 

Many people need more than one attempt before they stop smoking for good. Asking for support early can help you manage cravings and stay on track.
