Our Limited-Time Offer Starts September 1
Quit tobacco with eight weeks of free nicotine replacement therapy
OKLAHOMA CITY (Aug. 28, 2024) — The Oklahoma Tobacco Helpline is offering a limited-time bonus for Oklahomans ready to quit tobacco. Starting Sept. 1, individuals who sign up for Helpline services will receive at least eight weeks of free nicotine replacement therapy, like patches, gum or lozenges, rather than the normal two weeks. This special offer runs through Sept. 30.
The Oklahoma Tobacco Helpline is a program of the Tobacco Settlement Endowment Trust (TSET).
“Quitting tobacco is one of the most impactful steps someone can make to improve their health,” Julie Bisbee, TSET executive director, said. “We know additional nicotine replacement therapy increases the chances of successfully quitting, and this offer is a compelling reason for people to sign up now.”
The Oklahoma Tobacco Helpline also provides free, personalized support to help registrants quit, including services like live group sessions, emails, text, phone and Coach support. By building a plan to quit with the Helpline and fighting cravings with nicotine patches, gum and lozenges, Oklahomans can double their chances of successfully overcoming tobacco addiction.
To share news of this offer, the Oklahoma Tobacco Helpline is debuting a new stop-motion campaign called “Inside the Box.” The different spots illustrate the journey of quitting by bringing to life the many resources included in the free Quit Kit. This kit embodies hope, offering a path to reclaim health and break free from addiction. This campaign will air statewide on TV and radio stations as well as print and digital ads.
