Yes! You read correctly! On January 1, changes to the BC Smoking Cessation come into effect that will help you stop smoking!
It’s not easy to stop smoking, but the BC government is trying to make it easier. Now you can simply come in to Carmi Remedy’s Rx in the Carmi Medical Dental Building (just up from Penticton Regional Hospital) to access FREE Nicotine Replacement Therapy products. You are no longer required to phone HealthLinkBC for a registration number.
In addition,PharmaCare is also pleased to announce that lozenges and inhalers will now be included as NRT (Nicotine Replacement Therapy) options under the program.
