Smoking Cessation Products

If you smoke, you have a 50% chance of dying due to a smoking-related disease. Quit today!

According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, more than 16 million Americans suffer from a disease caused by smoking. Smokers have a higher risk of developing many chronic disorders, including atherosclerosis — the buildup of fatty substances in the arteries — which can lead to coronary heart disease and stroke. While smoking is addictive, there are several effective products that can help you quit smoking.

Nicotine Replacement Products 

These over-the-counter products are approved to sell to anyone 18 or older. They vary in brand and come in the form of:

• Skin patches - also known as transdermal nicotine patches. These patches are affixed to the skin, similar to how one would apply an adhesive bandage.

• Chewing gum - also referred to as nicotine gum.

• Lozenges - also called nicotine lozenges, they are taken by dissolving in the mouth.

Products Not Containing Nicotine

These products come in tablet form, and are prescription-only.

• Chantix – or varenicline tartrate, acts at sites in the brain affected by nicotine. Some common side effects are nausea, constipation, gas, vomiting and trouble sleeping/lucid dreaming.

• Zyban – reduces cravings and withdrawal effects. It can also be used to treat depression.
   

Whatever product you choose, we wish you the best of luck in your journey to quit.
