The executive director of the association, Doug Hirano, Dr. Elbert Y. Kuo, and project leader Yen Nguyen all came to the event to give speeches to the guests. This event was welcomed by the Asian community. (Left to right) Doug Hirano, Elbert Y. Kuo, Dr. Yen Nguyen Arizona has long had smoking cessation hotlines in English and Spanish. If smokers are minorities, it will be difficult to find direct help in Chinese, Korean, and Vietnamese. Doug said that starting from that day, they opened a hotline for minorities in Arizona. Project leader Yan said that this hotline will provide smokers with professional counseling on quitting smoking, and the counselors will teach them how to quit smoking. At the same time, this hotline is also prepared for friends around smokers. Friends around smokers can connect to the hotline, and full-time tutors will directly contact the smokers based on the information they provide to provide corresponding health guidance. Dr. Elbert is a lung cancer screening doctor. He has witnessed many cases of diseases caused by smoking. He introduces the dangers of smoking to everyone and tells everyone how to detect these health problems caused by smoking early. He said that even for lung cancer patients, early detection and early treatment can still ensure a healthy life. The guests present were also very lively in the discussion. Huang Xinmin, a Chinese-American Chandler City Council candidate, said that he was a smoker more than ten years ago and tried to quit smoking countless times without success. Later he got married and his wife soon had a baby. For the health of his wife and baby, he finally quit smoking successfully. His example tells everyone that finding a loved one is also an effective way to quit smoking. Of course, many friends suggested going to the church to do some publicity, where you can reach more people and so on. Do you have any friends who smoke? Then call the hotline and let us stay away from tobacco together! Chinese (800) 838-8917 Korean (800) 556-5564 Vietnamese (800) 778-8440
