2012 marks the 20th anniversary of the California Smokers’ Helpline, the first state/provincial quitline in North America! In an effort to engage the entire quitline community in a celebration of all we have learned, endured and achieved over the past twenty years, NAQC just launched its first blog, Celebrating 20 Years of Quitline History with 20 Questions About our Future.

The blog features twenty questions generated by leaders across tobacco control and answered by quitline colleagues across North America. The final three questions were revealed at the 2012 NAQC Conference. There, conference attendees engaged in a lively, fun, collaborative process to answer the questions most focused on the future of quitlines: What is the future of quitlines in the next 3-5 years? How do we get there? What are the individual skills, talents, expertise that YOU bring to the future of quitlines?
