Question by sea_sher: Did you hear of a number you can call to get free nicotine patches to quit smoking?
I live in Wisconsin and quit smoking on January 1st. Im using the patch. So far, so good. A friend of mine said someone was giving away free patches for those who quit smoking this year. But she couldnt remember the number to call. Have you heard of anything? Also, if you have quit, any advice is appreciated.
Its not like welfare. Its designed to help smokers quit, which is a good thing, so why not take advantage of it! If someone was giving you something for free, you wouldnt take it? i doubt it. Is it better to have my insurance company pay for it (which amounts to everyone paying for it?)

Seems to me if you could afford cigarettes you can just spend that money on the patches. It amazes me how many folks are looking for something for nothing.

ignore the previous answer. i think there was a catch to those free patch giveaway. it is free to you but your health insurance company may pay for it. You can also google “free nicorette patches” and see what comes up. i think i can quit anytime i want. there are days when i can go for hours and hours without smoking. i didnt make that resolution this year
