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:

• 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 2022 USG Well-being credit.

If you are choosing a USG healthcare plan for 2022, 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 5, when open enrollment ends. You will pay a surcharge of $100 per tobacco user per month for using tobacco products.
