November is Lung Cancer Awareness Month, and the Evanston Health Department is partnering with the American Cancer Society to launch a program to help smokers quit.

The program, called "Break the Habit," is open to all Evanston residents 18 and older.

The Health Department will supply participants with eight weeks of free nicotine patches and information on quitting.

To participate call the Illinois Tobacco Quitline at 1-866-QUIT-YES.
