Quit Smoking Programs

UCare members can get free help to quit smoking or chewing tobacco with the Mayo Clinic Tobacco Quitline (MCTQ) or QUITPLAN.

Mayo Clinic Tobacco Quitline

You can call the counselors at the MCTQ to get help to kick the habit from the comfort of your own home. Counselors will give you support over the phone to help you stop smoking or chewing tobacco. Nicotine patches, gum, or lozenges are also available to eligible UCare members at no charge when they call the MCTQ.

Call the MCTQ at 1-888-642-5566 (toll free) to get started. TTY/hearing impaired: 1-866-257-2971. The MCTQ hours are 7 a.m. to 10 p.m., Monday through Friday, and 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturdays.
