Each segment directs callers to the Spanish-language Quitline, 1-855-D\u00c9JELO-YA (1-800-QUIT-NOW), for support. <\/p>\n<p><i>L\u00ednea de Ayuda<\/i> will air in <span class=\"xn-location\">Philadelphia<\/span>, <span class=\"xn-location\">Dallas<\/span>, <span class=\"xn-location\">Tampa<\/span> and <span class=\"xn-location\">Atlanta<\/span> (<span class=\"xn-chron\">May 4<\/span>); <span class=\"xn-location\">Orlando<\/span>, <span class=\"xn-location\">El Paso<\/span>, <span class=\"xn-location\">Las Vegas<\/span> and <span class=\"xn-location\">Phoenix<\/span> (<span class=\"xn-chron\">May 11<\/span>); <span class=\"xn-location\">Puerto Rico<\/span>, <span class=\"xn-location\">McAllen, TX<\/span> and <span class=\"xn-location\">Denver<\/span> (<span class=\"xn-chron\">May 18<\/span>); and, <span class=\"xn-location\">New York<\/span>, <span class=\"xn-location\">Chicago<\/span>, <span class=\"xn-location\">Houston<\/span> and Albuquerque (<span class=\"xn-chron\">May 25<\/span>). The 2017 Spanish and English language <i>Tips<\/i> Campaign ads are also airing nationwide on television and radio through July to bring attention to the risks of smoking. The ads feature former smokers who describe the health consequences they have suffered, motivate others to quit, and promote free cessation support available through Quitlines. <\/p>\n<p>The Alliance is promoting <i>the <\/i><i>L\u00ednea<\/i><i> de Ayuda <\/i>television events and the broader <i>Tips<\/i> Campaign through its <i>Nuestras Voces<\/i> (Our Voices) Network, spearheaded by 11 regional partners around the country, which works to reduce tobacco use and cancer incidence in Hispanic communities. Activities to support these efforts include individual cessation support, bilingual social media, and local media outreach.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The individual stories told in the <i>L\u00ednea de Ayuda<\/i> and <i>Tips<\/i> campaigns represent similar experiences of the over 16 million Americans suffering from illnesses caused by smoking and give encouragement to smokers to quit and others not to start. We are proud to support these efforts, including through the Alliance&#8217;s <i><span class=\"xn-person\">Su Familia<\/span><\/i> Helpline at 1-866-783-2645 where callers can get information in Spanish and English on quitting smoking, talking to a loved one about smoking, or connecting to health services in their communities,&#8221; emphasized Dr. Delgado. <\/p>\n<p><b>About the <i>Nuestras Voces<\/i> Network. <\/b><i>Nuestras Voces\u00a0<\/i>is a national network of over 200 members working for a tobacco-free world and to eliminate disparities in cancer prevention and treatment services.
