TThe map below describes information on the availability of Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT) gathered by our team in Spring 2017 from state tobacco quitlines. Each Tobacco Quit Line is a public health service funded by each state government and provides evidence-based interventions for callers depending on their insurance. For uninsured individuals, each state Tobacco Quit Line provides the following type and duration of NRTs, as shown in the map. Typical NRTs include patches, gum, lozenges, and counseling. Detailed information on quitlines services available from 2010 to present, is available here: https://www.cdc.gov/oshdata/Quitline.html.
