Oklahoma Tobacco Helpline offering free patches, gum, lozenges in February

The Oklahoma Tobacco Helpline, a program of the Tobacco Settlement Endowment Trust (TSET), is offering Oklahomans thinking about quitting tobacco a powerful boost this February. All month long, Oklahomans who sign up for the Helpline will get at least eight weeks of patches, gum or lozenges for free – four times more than typically available. This limitedtime offer of extra nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) runs through Feb. 28.

The Oklahoma Tobacco Helpline, a program of the Tobacco Settlement Endowment Trust (TSET), is offering Oklahomans thinking about quitting tobacco a powerful boost this February. All month long, Oklahomans who sign up for the Helpline will get at least eight weeks of patches, gum or lozenges for free – four times more than typically available. This limitedtime offer of extra nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) runs through Feb. 28.

In addition to NRT support, the Helpline offers the opportunity to quit with free, personalized help from trained coaches.

In a 7-month follow-up survey, 44.4% of participants said they had remained tobacco-free for at least 30 days — well above the 30% success rate considered a national benchmark. With 97% user satisfaction, the Helpline stands out as one of the nation’s leading quit services.

Smokers put themselves at high risk for developing smoking-related health issues like lung cancer, stroke, diabetes and heart disease. Through secondhand smoke, they risk endangering the health of their families. Quitting smoking lets blood vessels work better and helps the heart and lungs. Quitting at any age can give back years of life that would be lost by continuing to smoke.

Call 1-800-QUIT NOW (1-800784-8669), text READY to 34191 or visit OKhelpline.com to explore all the free services. Connect with the Helpline through social media by liking the Oklahoma Tobacco Helpline on Facebook or following @OKhelpline on Instagram.
