State encouraging use of KanQuit

On Aug. 15, the Kansas Department of Health and Environment (KDHE) launched a statewide digital campaign to raise awareness of the health risks of tobacco use and connect users with the Kansas Tobacco Quitline (KanQuit). KanQuit is a free service that offers confidential help to quit tobacco to all Kansas residents 18 and older through online and telephone programs. Additional benefits are available to patients with qualifying mental illnesses or substance abuse conditions, including ADHD, bipolar disorder, depression, drug or alcohol abuse disorder (SUD), anxiety, PTSD and schizophrenia.
