Are there resources to help employees quit smoking/using tobacco?
Yes, there are many resources available to employees to help them quit, and most are free! The Public Employees’ Benefits Board (PEBB) provides employees excellent quitting benefits including telephone coaching, nicotine replacement therapy (patches, gum and lozenges) and medication. Call 800-QUIT-NOW to find out what benefits are available to you through PEBB or another insurance policy you may have. Those employees not covered by PEBB or another insurance also may receive help through the Oregon Tobacco Quit Line at the same number.
