Quit Cards are supplied by Quitline. These are subsidy cards that are taken to a pharmacy to obtain nicotine therapy (NRT) products. A completed Quit Card can provide 12 weeks of subsidised nicotine patches, gum or lozenges for $5.00 per product. Nicotine patches, gum or lozenges double the chances of someone being able to stay stopped for a lengthy period of time.
