Nov. 16 is the Great American Smokeout
The third Thursday in November is recognized as the Great American Smokeout, when thousands start their tobacco-free journey. To help anyone who is planning to quit on Nov. 16 or any other day, TCS has compiled a number of resources:
-
Raise your awareness about myths and misconceptions related to smoking, quitting and vaping by taking the Tobacco I.Q. Online Challenge. At the end of the quiz, U-M faculty and staff can also enter to win one of four $25 Amazon gift cards.
-
This “virtual” quit kit is designed to help you “Quit for A Day.” A limited number of physical quit kits are also available.
-
Free, one-on-one counseling is available to faculty and staff, as well as their dependents. Participate virtually, by phone or in-person.
-
Eligible U-M drug plan members who want to quit tobacco can get prescription and over-the-counter smoking cessation medications with no copay.
