"Healthy Choices, Healthy Children: Smoke Free Moms" is a new program emphasizing both support and financial rewards for women trying to quit.

This new campaign, managed by Tobacco Free Southwest, a program of Adagio Health, is in addition to an existing program offered through the PA Free Quitline, a state Department of Health agency.

The Quitline program offers women who register for the free coaching programs to qualify for up to $65, $5 per coaching session.  While supplies last, Tobacco Free Southwest is offering an additional incentive, $50 gift cards, to pregnant women who complete the smoking cessation program.

The program is available in 10 Southwestern Pennsylvania counties, including Allegheny, Beaver, Westmoreland, Fayette, Somerset, and Washington.
