About M-Power

We focus on policy while also addressing the needs for society and individuals to become tobacco-free, engage in regular physical activities and adopt positive nutrition habits

Tobacco Kills Oklahomans

Tobacco use is the leading preventable cause of death and disease in the US. For every person who dies from tobacco use, another 20 suffer with a least one serious tobacco-related illness. Tobacco use kills more Oklahomans than alcohol, auto accidents, HIV/AIDS, suicides, murders, and illegal drugs combined. Tobacco use is a major contributing risk factor for the four leading causes of death in Oklahoma – heart disease, stroke, cancer, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

    SoonerQuit

    The SoonerQuit program was developed through a grant with the Oklahoma Tobacco Settlement Endowment Trust (TSET) and focuses on promoting and increasing access to tobacco cessation benefits and the Oklahoma Tobacco Helpline (1-800-QUIT-NOW). SoonerQuit staff assist providers with integrating best practices and offer technical assistance related to tobacco cessation.
