Using quit-smoking medicines can help people who want
to go smokefree in 2021—even if they have tried them before! A new feature article from the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention highlights how using these safe, FDA-approved medicines
can increase the likelihood of quitting. In fact, using medicines together with
counseling can just about double the chances of quitting successfully.
The article
tells readers what kind of medicines are available, what they do, and new ways of using them that are proven to help
people quit smoking. It also includes valuable tips on finding support for a
quit attempt, including talking to a doctor or insurance company, calling a
quitline, and more.
Get inspired by
the story of Beatrice R., who shared through CDC’s Tips From Former Smokers® (Tips®) campaign how
she quit smoking cigarettes using the nicotine patch and other nicotine
replacement therapy (NRT) medicine and with the support of her kids. No matter
your inspiration, quit-smoking medicines can be part of a successful quit strategy in the new year.

CDC Tobacco Free on Twitter and Facebook for more helpful information and
quit-smoking inspiration now and throughout the year.
