MADISON, Wis. (AP) — If one of your New Years’ resolutions is to quit smoking, the state wants to help.
Starting today, people who call the state’s Tobacco Quit Line can get a free two-week starter kick of nicotine medicines.
The cost is being covered by the additional one-dollar-per-pack tax that went into effect today.
Dr. Michael Fiore is the Director of the University of Wisconsin Center for Tobacco Research and Intervention in Madison. He says the best way to quit is to plan for it, follow the steps and use the treatment.
