Oklahoma Tobacco Helpline Doubles FREE Nicotine Replacement Therapy in October
This October, the Oklahoma Tobacco Helpline, a program of the Tobacco Settlement Endowment Trust (TSET), is offering a special bonus to Oklahomans thinking about quitting tobacco. Starting Wednesday, Oct. 1, anyone who signs up for Helpline services will receive at least eight weeks of free patches, gum or lozenges - an increase from the usual four weeks. This limited-time offer of additional nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) runs through Oct. 31.
“The Oklahoma Tobacco Helpline consistently ranks among the most successful quitlines in North America,” said Julie Bisbee, TSET executive director. “Through this limited-time offer, the Helpline is offering more nicotine replacement therapy than ever before. If you’re an Oklahoman thinking about quitting tobacco, there has never been a better time.”
The Oklahoma Tobacco Helpline offers free, personalized support to help Oklahomans quit. These services include Coach support, live group sessions, plus email, text and phone support. By building a Quit Plan with the Helpline and fighting cravings with the NRT options provided, Oklahomans more than double their chances of successfully quitting tobacco.
