Get free help to quit cigarettes, vapes, puff bars, iqos and nicotine pouches

Nicotine is addictive regardless of whether it comes from cigarettes, water pipes, e-cigarettes, vapes, puff bars, iqos heets, snus, nicotine pouches or other tobacco and nicotine products.

The health center offers different types of stop courses. On a cessation course, you get help and support to get out of your addiction and stick to your decision to be smoke-free and nicotine-free. The stop course is for you, whether you smoke, use e-cigarettes, snuff or other tobacco and nicotine products.

A stop course starts with a short clarifying conversation over the phone, where we agree on your further course.

The offer is free for everyone who lives or works in Sonderborg Municipality.

You can also get free telephone advice on quitting smoking at Stoplinien.dk or help via the app Kvit.

When are there stop rates?

On a quit course, you participate in a group where you can share your experiences with others who, like you, want to quit. You support each other and exchange experiences - and this community and commitment is an important part of the success most people have with the stop course.

Where can I get more information about nicotine products and children and young people?

It is illegal to sell all forms of nicotine to young people under the age of 18, but in recent years the use of nicotine products has increased significantly among children and young people. Many develop a daily or occasional use of nicotine, such as nicotine pouches or vapes – and more start using it even if they have never smoked cigarettes before. Nicotine is highly addictive, and it can be very difficult to stop using nicotine once you have started.

As a parent or professional, you are also welcome to contact the cessation advisors at the Health Center for knowledge and advice.
