World No Tobacco Day is Monday, May 31, calling on individuals to “commit to quit,” for one’s own health and of those around them. The World Health Organization (WHO), is reaching out to the millions of tobacco users saying they want to quit amidst the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Christian Brothers Employee Benefit Trust (CBEBT) offers a program to help participants to embrace a healthier lifestyle. The Quit for Life® program is available free to CBEBT participants through Optum. Quit for Life® offers participants and their enrolled dependents the tools they need to quit at no additional cost to enroll in the program.
Personalized support engages on many levels including: • Unlimited live human support • Secure email messages • Mobile app • Text2Quit℠ texting • Enrollment via phone, web and text • Online trackers and community • Expert-led online courses • Nicotine patches and gum
Quit For Life® uses an evidence-based combination of physical, psychological and behavioral strategies to help participants overcome their addiction to tobacco. With Quit for Life®, CBEBT participants have access to a mix of phone-based coaching, texting, online learning, medication and support tools that produce an average quit rate of 51%.
