Quit Smoking, Tobacco & eCigarettes
$100 Member Rebate
Did you know that tobacco use remains the single largest preventable cause of death and disease in the United States? Decades after we first understood the dangers, cigarette smoking still kills more than 480,000 Americans each year—with more than 41,000 of these deaths from exposure to secondhand smoke!
If you’ve seen the damage that smoking causes and you’re ready to quit, your UHA 'ohana is here to help you.
Smoking cessation classes combined with nicotine replacement are best.
Not everyone can quit cold turkey – a combination of education, support, and gradually going off nicotine has proven to be the most effective way to quit.
