Smoking Cessation Program

UMB understands that quitting smoking is hard.

To encourage smoking cessation, UMB provides a variety of resources internally and from the State of Maryland at no cost to our employees.

Participate in the Great American Smokeout!

Are you ready to quit?

The Great American Smokeout is Nov. 17. Are you considering quitting but trying to navigate how to commit? Whether you make Nov. 21 your quit date or you’re still thinking about quitting, there are strategies and tips to help you through the difficult process.

Your health care provider offers FREE health coaching and smoking cessation resources. Discounted programs for smoking cessation also are offered. And nicotine patches and nicotine gum, to help you on your journey, may be covered through your state of Maryland benefits and prescription vendor. (Some generic brands may be covered with a prescription and do not require a co-pay.)
