For example, participants can elect to enact a medication-free\u00a0quitting plan. In order to participate in Breathe Easy, an employee needs to be benefits-eligible or be the adult, benefits-eligible family member of an MSU faculty, staff, graduate student assistant or retiree.<\/p>\n<p>If you qualify and are ready for the challenge, please register to attend this spring&#8217;s pre-enrollment information session on January 28 from 1:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. in\u00a0room 247, Olin Health Center.
