Smoking Cessation Support

For benefit-eligible employees, there are a number of free resources in our benefit plans to support smoking cessation plans:

• All benefit eligible employees:
  • Our Employee Assistance Program provides free, confidential services including personalized and individual counseling for habit control and chemical dependency issues by calling 1-800-433-2320 anytime: 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including holidays.
  • The Tobacco Cessation Program, provided by Hubbub, is designed to provide an individualized approach to quitting tobacco. This evidence-based program consists of four steps that can be completed sequentially or repeated as many times as necessary in order to successfully quit.

• For employees subscribed with Kaiser Permanente (KP), Kaiser has a variety of tobacco cessation programs and resources.
  • Quit Smoking topic center - members and non-members can access a number of tools and resources that can help them successfully quit tobacco. In addition, the topic center includes a regional database of classes and other KP resources.
