Using tobacco costs you more than just what you pay at the counter.

PEBB members who use tobacco have $25 deducted monthly from their pay to offset the known risks for health care costs they bring to their health plan. You can end the deduction after you quit by filling out a Mid-year Change form. 

Members who use tobacco also have higher rates for optional life insurance. They can get the lower non-tobacco rate when they don't use tobacco for 12 months prior to the next Open Enrollment.

Members in PEBB Statewide, Providence Choice, or Moda plans:

Call Quit for Life at 1-866-QUIT-4-LIFE (1-866-784-8454). There is also a chat feature.

Members in a Kaiser Permanente plan:

Call the "Talk With a Health Coach" service at 503-286-6816 or 1-866-301-3866 (toll free) and select option 2.

  • Materials to help you plan and stick to a personalized quit program
  • Nicotine replacement therapy
