Quitting or not using tobacco is one of the healthiest decisions you can make.

If you or a loved one uses tobacco, you know how hard it is to quit. Fortunately, your USG Well-being program is here to provide the support you need:

• Tackle quitting challenges with a USG Well-being health coach. Coaches are experts in helping people quit for good. Complete four or more coaching appointments and earn $25 towards 2021 USG Well-being credit.
• Try Journeys—self-guided digital courses that give you daily support, evidence-based tips and new skills to practice on your journey to becoming tobacco-free. Complete a Journey and earn $10 towards 2021 USG Well-being credit.

To find these resources and more, sign in to or register your USG Well-being account:

• Employees: access through OneUSG Connect – Benefits at oneusgconnect.usg.edu > click on Manage My Benefits > click on the USG Well-being tile from the home page.

If you are choosing a USG healthcare plan for 2021, you must certify through OneUSG Connect – Benefits​​​​​​​ whether you or your covered dependents (age 18+) use tobacco. Be sure to certify your tobacco status by November 6, when open enrollment ends. You will pay a surcharge of $100 per tobacco user per month for using tobacco products.

USG Well-being will be hosting live events throughout November. The attendee links will be available on the USG Well-being Events page.
