Quitting Smoking? The State of Michigan Will Pay for It

Tobacco is a killer in Michigan and the state wants to pay you to kick the habit.

Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS) has the facts: "tobacco kills more people in our state than AIDS, alcohol, auto accidents, drug overdoses, murders, and suicides combined." Now, the state will chip in to help you quit the deadly addiction.

The use of cigarettes and other tobacco products is the single, most preventable cause of disease, disability and death, both in Michigan and across the United States.
