More people die from lung cancer than any other type of cancer. The most important thing people can do to prevent lung cancer is to never start smoking or quit if they currently smoke. Whether someone wants to quit now or get information for a loved one, the Kansas Tobacco Quitline, 1-800-QUIT-NOW (784-8669) can help. The 24-hour no cost Quitline provides one-on-one phone counseling to help tobacco users set a quit date, create a plan to quit and fight cravings.
Join thousands of people who quit smoking during the American Cancer Society Great American Smokeout on Thursday, November 19.
Additional lung cancer information and resources can be found at the American Lung Association www.lungusa.org and the American Cancer Society www.cancer.org. For more Kansas Cancer Information and resources, visit www.cancerkansas.org.
