ESCAPE (Employee Smoking Cessation Program)
What is ESCAPE?
ESCAPE is a resource available at no charge for all eligible New York City employees who would like to quit smoking.
How does ESCAPE work?
Making a decision to quit is the first and most important step in successfully quitting. The ESCAPE program can help you take this first step.
- You will talk with a Tobacco Treatment Specialist who
will ask you questions about your smoking history and your health.
- Based on the information you provide, the Tobacco
Treatment Specialist will make recommendations on the best approaches for
quitting smoking and help you choose the best treatment.
- The recommendations may include no cost nicotine
replacement therapies* and/or non-nicotine pharmacotherapy medications and/or
counseling.
- You will receive free information on quitting.
The ESCAPE program is a personalized and confidential service to meet your needs. “Confidential” means that we do not to reveal your participation in the program to anyone unless we have your permission.
