7 Years of Saving Lives!

 

 

Do You Want To Quit smoking or chewing?

 

Of course you do. In fact, most tobacco users would rather be tobacco free, but they just don't know how to "break off" this relationship and quit smoking and chewing for good.

 

You're probably tired of hearing complaints about your tobacco use and reading the frightening smoking facts about the harmful health effects and the damage to your lungs from smoking.

 

You want to get started, but you're not sure how. Well, you're in luck.

 

The Montana Tobacco Quit Line is the place to start!

 

 

The Montana Tobacco Quit Line is a FREE program that helps you quit smoking or using smokeless tobacco.  We offer:

 

 

  • FREE phone coaching and support
  • 2 FREE weeks of Nicotine Replacement Therapy (patches, gum and lozenges)
  • 3 Months, Chantix, $50 co-pay per month
  • 3 months Bupropion, $5 co-pay per month

 

 

The Montana Medicaid Program can offer patches, gum and low-cost medication. 

 

Medicaid pays for 12 weeks of medication up to twice a year.

 

 

Why You Should Quit

 

  • The average smoker spends around $3,000 each year on cigarettes.
  • Half of all lifetime smokers will die early as a result of their tobacco use.

 

 

People who use the Montana Tobacco Quit Line are 7 to 10 times MORE LIKELY TO QUIT than people who try to quit on their own.




It's time to quit before it costs you too much.



 



What's your smoking blueprint?

 

Have you ever thought about why you smoke? 

Some of the reasons you smoke may be obvious while others may surprise you. 

When you really understand of all these reasons why you smoke, you can make changes in those areas, and quitting can be easier.  

 

Check out the different types of smokers below to determine your smoking blueprint:

 

THE BORED SMOKER:  Smoking when there is nothing else to do, or to keep your hands busy, or during breaks at school or work.

 

THE SOCIAL SMOKER:  Smoking when you are with other smokers, or when you go out to a bar,club, or party, or on the weekends to celebrate something with friends.

 

THE STRESSED OUT SMOKER:  Smoking more when you are depressed, angry or frustrated, or when you are nervous, or when you have some sort of deadline, or to relax or calm down.

 

THE WEIGHT CONSCIOUS SMOKER: Smoking to control your weight or to curb your appetite.

 

THE ADDICTED SMOKER: Smoking automatically without even thinking about it, or a 1/2 pack of cigarettes or more a day, or even when you're sick, or can't start your day without smoking, or find it difficult to be in places where you can't smoke.
