Tobacco Education & Advocacy of the Midlands: 2018 is Your Year to Quit Tobacco

(Papillion, NE) – Keeping New Year’s self-improvement promises can be difficult. Tobacco Education & Advoacy of the Midlands (T.E.A.M.) and the Nebraska Tobacco Quitline want to help you make 2018 a tobacco-free year.

During the month of January, the Nebraska Tobacco Quitline is providing extra assistance for those who are ready to quit with a two-week supply of no-cost nicotine replacement therapy.

"Quitting isn't easy, but with the Quitline, tobacco-users have a whole team of support on their side," T.E.A.M. said. "Get the tools you need to be successful by calling 1-800-QUIT-NOW, talking with your healthcare provider, and building that support from friends and family.

Call the Nebraska Tobacco Quitline (available 24/7) and ask about the no-cost nicotine patches, gum or lozenges, available through January 31, while supplies last. This offer is available for Nebraska residence who are 18 years of age or older. Callers will be screened for medical eligibility to receive the medication, which is shipped directly to the caller’s home. All information provided to the Quitline is confidential.

“It is never too late to quit. Quitting brings immediate advantages to not just tobacco-users, but their families are well,” T.E.A.M. said.

For help quitting, the Nebraska Tobacco Quitline is available at 1-800-QUIT-NOW (1-800-784-8669), and for Spanish services at 1-855-DÉJELO-YA (1-855-355-3569). Translation services are also available in more than 170 languages. For additional resources visit www.QuitNow.ne.gov.

For free technical advice and education contact T.E.A.M. locally at 402-593-3022 or at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..

Funding for this project is provided by the Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services/Tobacco Free Nebraska Program as a result of the Tobacco Master Settlement Agreement.
