Health Speak?

You don't have to be quitting to use Quitline


Listen Later

Talking about smoking can be tricky. Whether you are the smoker or it’s someone you care about, the conversation can get awkward and people can feel judged or lectured. So how do the good conversations, the ones that work, sound? Sue Hearn is a team leader at Quit Tasmania and in this episode of Health Speak she takes Penny on a tour of the call center, busts some myths about her role and shows you how a quitline call works.
SHOW NOTES:In case you missed it, the Quitline number is 13 78 48. You can also get in touch with them online by checking out the website for your state based service (quittas.org.au for the Tasmanian service where Sue works) or as Sue mentions, you can have a conversation with a health professional you trust and be referred to Quitline by them.
