The Tobacco Quitline (1-800-QUIT-NOW) is once again available to the uninsured and underinsured in Washington state. Anyone who lives in our state is now eligible for at least one call to the quit line.
We have one-year's funding to make the quit line available to people without insurance thanks to the state legislature and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Since launching in 2001, the quit line has helped more than 160,000 Washington residents. People who call the quit line double their chances of quitting successfully.
Quit line services can include counseling and nicotine replacement therapy, including gum or patches.; Services are available to people who are:- Age 18 or older and live in Washington state.
