Tobacco use is the leading cause of preventable death and disease in Oregon.  In Oregon, 77% of current adult smokers want to quit, but success can depend on receiving evidence-based support, including counseling and medication.  Benefits offered by health plans play an important role in providing the support needed to successfully quit.
