Lung HelpLine
The American Lung Association is proud to introduce our new HelpLine! The HelpLine provides convenient, confidential consultation from professional, credentialed personnel who are qualified to help find answers to your questions about the symptoms and treatment of lung disease. The HelpLine does not replace the relationship established between the patient and their primary care physician. Feel free to call if you have any questions regarding lung cancer, asthma, allergies, emphysema, smoking cessation, environmental health, pulmonary diseases, and more. You can reach the HelpLine by calling 1-800-LUNG-USA. And don't forget, if you prefer the ease of clicking a link to ask your question, try Ask ALA.
