Free Tobacco Cessation Program
Pivot is available at no cost to DeKalb County employees, dependents, and early retirees ages 18+ as part of their plan. Pivot offers three programs. To get started, visit pivot.co/dekalb.
Pivot for Smoking
If eligible, you’ll receive Pivot’s SmartSensor, which measures carbon monoxide (CO) — a toxin in cigarette smoke to show you your progress. Unlike some quit programs that feel like homework, Pivot encourages you to swap a smoke break for a fun, five-minute game on your phone. It also provides free tools to combat cravings, from nicotine replacements to habit-busting mind-hacks. Additional support is available from a Pivot coach via private in-app messaging.

Pivot for Vape
Like cigarettes, e-cigs also emit harmful toxins but in the form of water vapor. This program helps crush cravings to vape and offers support form a Pivot coach via private, in-app messaging.

Pivot for Other
Whether you chew, smoke cigars, hookah, or more, Pivot can help. The Pivot mobile app provides you with personalized, engaging content unique to your quit journey. You can receive expert support from a certified coach and talk to a community of peers to celebrate milestones and discuss victories over tobacco.
