A quasi-experimental study was conducted to compare quit rates and continuous abstinence from smoking before and after free nicotine patches were offered to smokers who participated in the Washington County (Maryland) Health Department's 'Stop Smoking for Life' group behavioral cessation program. Results concluded that adding free nicotine patches to the program increased program enrollment and significantly increased short-term quit rates.
