Operation Live Well has a plethora of resources for anyone who wants to quit smoking—or help someone quit smoking—including articles, videos, websites, and competitions. For instance, 6 Healthy Base Initiative sites hosted a text message-based trivia contest called Kicking Butts for Points. Players answered questions about the financial burdens and health effects of smoking and ways to get help, researching their answers on the Quit Tobacco website.

A recent addition to the website is the Tobacco-Free Living Community of Interest (COI), which provides information about DoD’s tobacco policies and resources. The online community has data on active-duty and retiree tobacco use and information on the health benefits of quitting.

The COI site can be accessed by anyone with a Common Access Card, which allows users to participate in discussions, comment on materials, and interact with colleagues.
