The services are now available in Manitoba:

Friday from 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. CDT
For those seeking support outside of these hours, several resources remain available seven days a week:

If you or someone you know is looking for support to quit smoking or vaping, these resources remain a good starting point.
We’ve also compiled a list of quit smoking and vaping resources available in Manitoba.
