WNYT: Free Nicotine Gum Offered to NY Smokers Looking to Quit

WNYT/NewsChannel 13 reported on a free nicotine gum giveaway from the New York State Smokers Quitline, supported by St. Peter’s Health Partners Community Health Programs.

The giveaway includes a free, three-month supply of nicotine gum for qualifying cigarette smokers and for those who use e-cigarettes.

“We strongly encourage anyone who’s interested in the nicotine gum to spread the word to family and friends,” said Erin Sinisgalli, director of St. Peter’s Health Partners Community Health Programs. “Nicotine gum is an effective and proven medication to treat addiction and supplement the quit-process. It eliminates short-term cravings of cigarettes and can double the odds of successfully quitting when combined with a nicotine patch.”

Those interested in taking advantage of the offer can call 1-866-NY-QUITS.
