WICHITA, Kan. (KSNW) — Thursday is the annual Great American Smokeout.
The American Cancer Society says quitting smoking can be beneficial no matter your age. Quitting smoking can improve your health almost immediately, and many of the risks associated with smoking begin decreasing over time once you quit for good.
Kansas offers many free services to help you quit smoking. The Kansas Tobacco Quitline offers a variety of free services, including free smoking cessation medications for those who qualify.
Information and counseling are available for free, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, on their website or by calling their hotline at 1-800-QUIT-NOW (784-8669).
