Quitting tobacco is one of the best things you can do for your health. There are many benefits to quitting, but here are a few:

  • Lowered risk of lung cancer and many other types of cancer
  • Reduced risk for heart issues like heart disease and stroke
  • Reduced respiratory symptoms like coughing, wheezing, and shortness of breath

We understand quitting is about more than just not smoking. By joining Quitline Iowa's program, a Quit Coach® will help you with the "The 4 Essential Practices to Quit For Life," based on 25 years of research and experience helping people quit tobacco. Quit Line gives free counseling, information, and local cessation program referrals. You can also get starter packs of aids including nicotine gum, patches, and lozenges. Learn more about how Quitline Iowa can help you become tobacco-free.
