Be Tobacco Free
Quitting is hard but you don’t have to do it alone. SoonerCare has a tobacco cessation benefit to help you to quit. Members may receive counseling as well as prescription and over-the-counter medications to help you stop using tobacco. Ask your doctor for help quitting and discuss what product(s) are best for you.
Products Covered
The following products are free with a prescription from your doctor:
- Patches
- Gum
- Lozenges
- Inhaler
- Nasal spray
- Zyban
- Chantix (180 days per 12 months)
Talk to your doctor about the benefits of combining products. Because these are tobacco cessation products, they do not count against your six prescription limit.
