Tobacco cessation resources

All UC-sponsored medical plans provide the following:

• Prescription nicotine replacement therapies, such as nicotine inhalers, sprays and medications, at no additional cost when prescribed by a physician.
• Over-the-counter nicotine replacement products are available, at no cost when prescribed by a physician.
• You can participate in behavioral modification programs to help you quit smoking, but it is not required to receive these benefits.

In addition, some medical plans offer additional resources; copays and program fees may apply. Please consult your medical plan’s booklet or website for more information.
