American Lung Association of Orange County

The American Lung Association (ALA) of Orange County’s mission is to promote lung health and prevent lung disease. The ALA strives to fight lung disease in all its forms and places a special emphasis on asthma, tobacco control, and environmental health. The ALA is recognized as the single greatest resource for information and education about lung health. We have assumed a leading role locally and nationally in the fight against tobacco by helping smokers to quit, encouraging children not to start smoking, protecting nonsmokers from secondhand smoke, and advocating for improved government air quality standards. As the South Orange County Smoking Cessation Provider under the Tobacco Free Communities project, ALA provides FREE cessation services for adults such as, telephone counseling, support groups, one time seminars, and a 5-10 cessation series to adults who want to quit smoking. ALA also provides FREE cessation services for teens such as telephone counseling, one time seminars and a 5-10 cessation series to teens who want to quit smoking. All cessation services for adults are provided in English, Spanish, Vietnamese and Korean.
