Tobacco

Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer deaths in Delaware. And the number-one cause of lung cancer has been proven to be smoking. Experts also believe smoking can hurt your heart and cause a disease called emphysema—making it hard for you to breathe. The Delaware Quitline is a counseling service on the phone that is provided free by the state of Delaware
and is run by the American Cancer Society. Delaware QuitNet is a website that will help you understand how to quit, give you tips and give you a way to talk with other quitters online.

Here’s how the Delaware Quitline works:

You call 1-866-409-1858, toll-free.
You’ll talk with a quit smoking expert who will ask a few questions about your smoking habits.
You can choose one of two ways to quit: face-to-face counseling with a Delaware pharmacist, or a phone-counseling, self-help program.
You receive follow-up support and hints and tips regularly by phone.
You could receive free nicotine patches, gum and other medications to help you.
You can receive services in English or Spanish.

Call 1-866-409-1858 toll-free to enroll in the Delaware Quitline.
