SAMBA is pleased to announce that Health Plan members have a new partner in your choice to quit tobacco with the help of QUITNET.

WHAT IS QUITNET?
QuitNet is a comprehensive service designed to help individual tobacco users through the quitting process.

Program participants may choose from the following support elements:

• Comprehensive online support from QuitNet’s website. Get a personal plan for quitting, access to cessation counselors, and much more.
• Phone support that includes 5 scheduled calls with a trained cessation counselor.
• A printed guide to quitting. This colorful, 40-page handbook provides information and support for every quitter – from making the decision to quit to staying quit for good.
• Quit Tips email support delivered to your inbox. Check in from anywhere to get helpful tips about staying quit and other information to help you be successful.

WILL QUITNET REALLY HELP ME?
Yes! Currently, only three percent of smokers are successful in quitting on their own for a year or longer. QuitNet is based on the most recent scientific research including the guidelines issued by the U.S. Surgeon General. QuitNet’s content and user interface has evolved from user feedback and research that identifies ongoing support as critical to successful quitting.

Quitting smoking is one of the BEST things you can do to improve your health and the health of those around you. With determination, a positive attitude and a little help, you can join a special and ever-growing community of people: ex-smokers.
