Join thousands of Americans in quitting for good
November 20th, 2008 marks the 33rd annual Great American Smokeout. Over the last three
decades, millions of Americans have used this event as an opportunity to quit smoking for
at least one day.
Today, there are more resources to help people quit than ever before. All Washington residents are
eligible for free coaching and a supply of free nicotine patches or gum by calling the
Washington State Tobacco Quit Line (1-800-QUIT-NOW).
Medicaid clients are eligible for additional
support, including prescription medications.
The Great American Smokeout isn't just an opportunity to quit for one day – it's an opportunity
to make a plan to quit for good. Research has shown that if
you call the quit line, you can double your chances of quitting successfully. More than 105,000 people
have already called for help.
The benefits of quitting are immediate, and they last a lifetime.
Call the quit line today to get started.

Mary Selecky has to say about quitting smoking.
