We don't provide medication but we do provide nicotine replacement therapy to people who's employer or spouse's employer or health plan provider participates in www.theexprogram.com.  If you're not referred by them then you'll need to call your state quit line (800-QUIT-NOW) to see what they offer in your state.

Welcome to EX and thanks for your question.  This site does not provide medication to quit smoking. There are two meds used to quit smoking. Chantix and Welbutrin which are not over the counter.  They must be prescribed by a doctor.   You can start researching from this linkQuitting Medications & Methods | My EX Plan | BecomeAnEX

Walmart brand (Equate) patches cost $26.00 for a 2 week supply. Much cheaper than smoking. You can also get their brand of lozenges and gum for cheap.
