Success Spotlight: I truly could not have quit smoking without this program and your guidance. I’ve quit several times and always started back, I don’t think that will be the case this time. I’m prepared now! I’m more than appreciative of the University (and you) for this invaluable resource. The gum really works! I’m living proof. Thank you again! -- Jason Varney, UK employee
