How SSC 6.1 Works

Whether you’ve already quit or are just thinking about quitting, whether you’re a heavy smoker or a “social” smoker, the Stop Smoking Center can help! Tens of thousands of quitters just like you have used the program to create their own quit plan and to connect with other quitters and our Support Specialists for support and advice. 

Getting started is easy. Just follow these simple steps to create your own anonymous account. Once you become a member you’ll have access to all the tools and networks in the program.

Step 1. Sign up
Click the “Join Now” button in the upper right corner. We’ll ask you a few questions about yourself so we can give you the most helpful resources. A confirmation email will be sent to the email address you provided at registration. It contains your program password, so you may want to save or print the email for reference. Although your personal information is always kept strictly confidential, we encourage you to register with an anonymous email address.

Step 2. Connect with Other Quitters and our Health Educators
Once you've created an account you automatically have posting privileges in the online support group. Our Health Educators are also online to help with questions. Even if you don’t want to post messages right away, many quitters find it helpful to just read what others are experiencing. You can also use the online Instant Messenger to immediately communicate with your “Quitting Buddies” for support… like if you’re “dying” for a cigarette!

Step 3. Create Your Quit Plan
Once you’re logged in, you also have access to all of the Quit Plan exercises to help you better understand your smoking. The more you know, the better chances you have of quitting. We recommend you start from the top, but you’re welcome to complete the exercises in any order. You can also come back and re-do the exercises at a later date or just review your results.

Step 4. Access Your Tools
Your account also gives you access to a helpful tools like a downloadable Quit Meter. The Quit Meter tracks all the money you’ve saved and life you’ve gained from quitting. You can also update your profile. For example, some people like to change their password. Also, you can create a profile and upload a picture for other members of the online support group. Finally, you can update or cancel your subscription to your support email and text messaging.

Step 5. Let Us Know How You’re Doing!
We want to make sure our program is as helpful as possible. Occasionally we'll send you an invitation to give us your feedback and let us know how you are doing. Your feedback is very important and we appreciate your honest answers so we can improve the program for others.

If you need more help or support, you can always check out the online support group. Chances are, someone else has the same questions as you. If you’d prefer, you can contact our Health Educators directly. For technical questions, please contact our IT team for help.
