Tylenol
Vitamin C + Vitamin D (to help reduce cravings)

The entire kit is available with no out-of-pocket cost for qualifying Medi-Cal recipients and can be reordered monthly.

Cigarette smokers
Vapers (e-cigarette users)
People who use chewing tobacco or dip
Whether you're just starting to think about quitting or ready to take action today, this program provides real support—without judgment or cost barriers.
