LINCOLN—The Nebraska Tobacco Quitline is offering free quit medications to eligible Nebraskans through June 30, 2026, or while supplies last.
Participants may receive two free quit medication kits that include both a two-week supply of nicotine patches and an additional two-week supply of either nicotine gum or lozenges. Using more than one form of nicotine replacement therapy, known as combination therapy, has been shown to increase quit success. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports that combining short-acting nicotine replacement therapy, such as gum or lozenges, with long-acting therapy, such as patches, increases quit success compared with using a single form.
To qualify, participants must be Nebraska residents age 18 or older, enroll in the Nebraska Tobacco Quitline, and complete at least one free coaching session. Eligible participants may receive quit medication kits following their first and second coaching sessions. The quitline provides support for quitting all forms of tobacco, including cigarettes, e-cigarettes, and smokeless tobacco products such as nicotine pouches.
