Tobacco Cessation Program
Through the American Lung Association
If you or a dependent are enrolled in the Roehl medical plan and have indicated that you are a tobacco user, you pay $22.70 more per week for employee only coverage or $26.80 more per week for greater than employee coverage. You can qualify to pay the lower premiums by completing the Freedom from Smoking Plus tobacco cessation program through the American Lung Association.
The Freedom from Smoking Plus tobacco cessation program is an online course intended to help you gain control over your behavior and break your addiction. The course is broken up into nine sessions, which prepare you to quit, help you take action on your quit day, as well stay tobacco free.
Participating in the program also includes free telephone, chat, and email support from American Lung Association tobacco cessation counselors as well as access to an online support community.
Once registered, you will have access to the program for 12 months.
