Smoking, often seen as a stress reliever, can actually increase anxiety. This fall, let go of habits that no longer serve you. We’ve partnered with UCSF SCLC and Dr. Laurel Mellin of EBT to introduce the FREE Spiral Up™ Lite app—designed with proven tools to reduce stress.

Quitting shouldn’t be harder because of who you are—but for many Black Americans, it is. 73% of Black adults who smoke want to quit, 63.4% have tried last year but only 4.9% succeeded. Better access to treatment is key. #HealthEquity #QuitSmoking #BlackHealthMatters
