The first step to quitting tobacco is finding your why — followed by help you can trust.

Deciding to quit tobacco is a big decision, and a personal one. Do you worry about your health, the cost of using tobacco, or the health of those around you?

Find Your Why

To help you make the decision to quit tobacco, start with understanding why it’s important to you. Download the Why I’m Quitting Tobacco worksheet to help you identify the reasons you’re ready to quit tobacco for good.

Whatever your reasons, if you are tired of being tied to tobacco and ready to quit, the Trust is here to help support you with voluntary and confidential Quit Tobacco programs. Available to all participants and their eligible spouse 18 years of age or older, the programs are fully paid for by the Trust, and include possible nicotine replacement therapy (if prescribed).
