Support for Tobacco Cessation

Click here to go to the Quitline Iowa website.

One of the Division of Tobacco Use Prevention and Control's main areas of focus is supporting tobacco users in their cessation efforts.

We support Quitline Iowa, work with medical providers to promote cessation in their practice, and provide support for local partnerships in promoting cessation in their community.

You can quit. Quitline Iowa will show you how.

We understand quitting is about more than just not smoking. When you join Quitline's program, a Quit Coach® will help you become an expert in living without tobacco using "The 4 Essential Practices to Quit For Life," based on 25 years of research and experience helping people quit tobacco.
