Does over-the-counter nicotine replacement therapy work?
They definitely do. As I said, for the tobacco users who call the Quitline who are uninsured, the nicotine replacement therapy that is offered to them is patches and gum. So we feel that is proven to be helpful to help people quit smoking. Chances of quitting double when NRT is coupled with counseling. At the Quitline, we certainly talk to the tobacco users to determine if it is an appropriate option for them. What is the phone number for the Quitline? 1-800-QUIT-NOW.
