In 1992, after research demonstrated telephone-based counseling for tobacco cessation an effective treatment, the California Department of Health launched the first statewide telephone counseling service to help smokers quit. Today, 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and Guam and all 10 Canadian provinces provide tobacco cessation services to their residents through local quitlines.  In Mexico, a national quitline was launched in October 2007. NAQC then incorporated as a non-profit organization in April 2006.
