What is the Lubrizol HealthyLife® QuitWell™ program?
Lubrizol's HealthyLife® QuitWell™ program is a positive approach to breaking the tobacco/nicotine habit (cigarettes, e-cigarettes, vapes, cigars, snuff, and chewing tobacco). It is a highly effective program that teaches the necessary skills to quit tobacco/nicotine use for good. Since no one quit method works for all smokers, Lubrizol's HealthyLife® QuitWell™ program presents over 500 different techniques and concepts. This allows you to pick and choose techniques to meet your needs. The program works for people who aren’t sure they want to quit, people who are thinking about it, and people who are ready to take action. It works in only five days. Best of all, Lubrizol's HealthyLife® QuitWell™ program curbs withdrawal discomfort and irritability, while it controls your weight.
How does the Lubrizol HealthyLife® QuitWell™ program work?
The Lubrizol HealthyLife® QuitWell™ program begins with an introductory session conducted over the telephone with your coach. You will receive details about Lubrizol HealthyLife® QuitWell™, how it operates and how it will work for you. This session and the materials that you receive will prepare you for the next phase of the Lubrizol HealthyLife® QuitWell™ program. You will receive a kit to help aid you during the program.
The second phase is called the Skill Development Phase. Here you will learn the unique techniques that allow you to quit tobacco/nicotine. During this phase, you will quit tobacco/nicotine for good.
The final phase of the Lubrizol HealthyLife® QuitWell™ program is the Maintenance Phase. During Maintenance, you will learn additional techniques that will reinforce those learned in the Skill Development Phase. The Maintenance Phase will see you through your first weeks, tobacco/nicotine-free, and strengthen your ability to live without it.
