Phone Coaching

South Dakota QuitLine phone coaching is FREE to anyone (13 and older) living in South Dakota. A Quit Coach can help you quit cigarettes, chew, or vape.

The SD QuitLine is still running at full capacity during COVID-19. Evidence shows that smoking and vaping may increase risk of COVID-19. There’s never been a better time to quit and protect your health.

What is a Quit Coach?

Phone coaches are trained specialists who can help you reach your quit goals. A Quit Coach will help you define your goals, identify strengths and stumbling blocks, and address obstacles.

You schedule calls with your Quit Coach at times that work best for you.

Why Coaching Works

  • Coaching is a partnership
  • Coaches listen – they don’t lecture
  • A Quit Coach can make it easier to be successful by helping you sort out priorities
  • Coaches help you stay accountable with support and guidance
  • You are 2X more likely to quit and stay quit if you have a coach
