About Youth Quitline

In August 2005, our team established the world’s first peer-led Youth Quitline, providing smoking cessation counselling service to youths aged 25 or younger. The Youth Quitline was awarded the “Outstanding Health Promotion Project” in 2011 and the “10th Health & Medical Research Fund Anniversary Awards” in 2021 by the Food and Health Bureau. Since 2012, we have been a partner of the WHO Collaborating Center for Smoking Cessation and Treatment of Tobacco Dependence. 

The Youth Quitline has been supported by the the following funding sources:

  • Health Care Promotion Fund, Food and Health Bureau
  • Health and Medical Research Fund, Health Bureau
  • Hong Kong Council of Smoking and Health
  • Sir Robert Kotewall Professorship in Public Health
  • Studies in Health Services, Food and Health Bureau
  • Tobacco & Alcohol Control Office, The Department of Health
