The Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion Program, housed within State of Nevada Division of Public and Behavioral Health, works in partnership with a network of tobacco cessation programs to provide resources and services to Nevadans in the process of quitting tobacco.
The Nevada Tobacco Quitline provides free and confidential online and telephone-based counseling, in either English or Spanish, for Nevada residents who want to address their tobacco use. This treatment service is delivered by counselors who are trained to treat nicotine addiction for all forms of tobacco use and supported by the Nevada Tobacco Control Program.
