*Some people who use tobacco also benefit from extended use of nicotine replacement therapy, an effective, approved and safe way to quit any form of tobacco product, even those that contain high levels of nicotine. Nicotine replacement therapy reduces withdrawal symptoms and increases quit success.

It is also no secret that smoking has a financial burden. Quitting can save you money in the long term and improve your finances. To learn more about the true cost of smoking, check out 802Quits’ Smoking Calculator.
