About QuitNow
At QuitNow, we empower clients to quit or reduce tobacco and nicotine and support them throughout their cessation journey. Through a partnership between the Ministry of Health and the BC Lung Foundation, QuitNow has provided tobacco cessation services to British Columbians for over 20 years. At QuitNow, we support every client no matter where they are in their quit journey. We support clients thinking about quitting, clients who are ready to quit, and clients who have already quit and wish to prevent a return to commercial tobacco and nicotine. We also offer training to health care providers to effectively support their clients looking to transition away from commercial tobacco and nicotine.
