Trading Cigarettes
for School
“There’s nothing good about smoking and everything good about not smoking. And, smoking took a lot of money out of my budget. I wanted to become a police officer and needed to save money to go to school. I called the quitline because I needed some help quitting.With encouragement from my coaches, I developed my own personal strategies to help me quit. I use a yoyo to play with on work breaks to help with high levels of stress. Now I’m saving money for my future career. And I tell co-workers and family members about how much money they are literally burning up in smoke. I hope they’ll join me and become tobacco free soon.”
