The Oklahoma Tobacco Helpline Offers Eight Weeks of FREE Nicotine Replacement Therapy in September

The TSET program is doubling its usual offer of free patches, gum or lozenges.

OKLAHOMA CITY (Aug. 25, 2026) — This September, the Oklahoma Tobacco Helpline, a program of the Tobacco Settlement Endowment Trust (TSET), is doubling its usual offer of nicotine patches, gum or lozenges.

For a limited time, Oklahomans at least 21 years old who sign up for the Helpline services can get eight weeks of FREE nicotine patches, gum or lozenges rather than the usual four weeks.

“When I was on my quit journey, having support and resources made all the difference,” said Lance Thomas, interim executive director of TSET. “Quitting can be hard, but Oklahomans don’t have to do it alone. This offer removes a common barrier and provides Oklahomans access to proven tools – and double the resources – to quit for good.”

The Oklahoma Tobacco Helpline offers free, personalized help to make a Quit Plan. Services include Coach support, live group sessions, plus email, text and phone support.

For more than 20 years, the Oklahoma Tobacco Helpline has provided free support to help Oklahomans quit tobacco. Funded by TSET since 2003, the Helpline has supported more than half a million registrants on their journey toward better health. This limited-time offer gives Oklahomans another opportunity to double their chances of successfully quitting tobacco.
