Delaware Tobacco Prevention and Control Program
Tobacco use remains the number one underlying cause of premature death and disability in Delaware and the nation. The Delaware Division of Public Health works to prevent the use of tobacco products through its Tobacco Prevention and Control Program (TPCP). The TPCP collaborates with the IMPACT Delaware Tobacco Prevention Coalition, health care organizations, youth and community groups, educational organizations, grassroots networks, and state agencies.

Trained tobacco specialists staffing the Quitline will assess your needs and explore your best options. Services include:
Motivational support by phone from a Quitline specialist; or—if you prefer—face-to-face counseling by a trained local counselor.
