The Smoking Cessation Program (Quit Care Program) is designed to help nicotine-dependent smokers stop their use of tobacco. As part of the program, addiction nurses work with participants during five sessions to help people understand what triggers their smoking and how to develop a personal plan to deal with these situations. 

Clients learn more about their dependence through self-observation and develop new skills which can significantly improve their chances of quitting, often with the aid of medications such as the nicotine patch, gum, and Zyban.

Individual and group counseling programs are available across the province at Addiction Service locations and are offered at no charge.

Islanders interested in participating in the quit smoking programs are encouraged to call PEI's toll-free quit smoking line 1.877.513.5333. Callers will be referred to the quit smoking program which best meets their needs and interests.
