Quit For Life® is a nationally recognized, telephone‑based tobacco cessation program brought to you by the American Cancer Society® and Alere Wellbeing. The two organizations have decades of combined experience in tobacco cessation coaching and have helped more than a million tobacco users.

Through Quit For Life® you and your eligible spouse could be eligible for nicotine replacement therapy, which is covered in full and combines nicotine replacement products (nicotine gum and patches, if eligible) with the support of a personal coach.

In addition, if you complete three calls with your Coach, you could also receive a $50 check just for participating.

The $50 check is a taxable incentive of around $75 depending on the state in which you reside. Estimated state (if any) and federal taxes of around $25 have been withheld and paid by the Trust, resulting in your net check of $50. You will receive a W2 from the Trust after year-end. You may participate in as many wellness programs as you like, but are eligible to earn only one $50 check per employee and one per covered spouse or domestic partner, each year.

The Quit For Life® program is offered to you and paid in full by the Washington Teamsters Welfare Trust. Provided by an independent health management service provider, the program is voluntary and at no cost. Any information you share is completely confidential, protected by federal law, and cannot be shared with your union or your employer without your permission.
