The Michigan Department of Community Health in Michigan has confirmed rumors that free nicotine patches and smoking cessation will be made available for smokers who want to drop the habit.
London Bell, health and human services coordinator says, "It's our hope that by having these services available, people who might not normally be able to afford nicotine patches, will take advantage of this free service and take charge of their health."
Smoking quit kits that will also be available include a piece of candy, a wristband, quit smoking tips and referrals to the Michigan Tobacco Quit Line.
This is the type of action that should be taking place throughout the country and worldwide. If smoking is to become such a taboo and a difficult habit to live with, smokers should be given the opportunity to quit without having to spend a fortune.
