Date:5/23/2008

18 years of age or older, with a valid certification. Pilots and air traffic controllers meeting the aforementioned criteria can call 1.877.NO.ASHES, or 1.877.662.7437 to request one free 48 count of 2mg or 4mg Cherry Commit lozenges, and also gain access to smoking cessation counselors. The line is open from 8 a.m. - 9 p.m. EDT, Monday through Friday (no weekends or holidays). During Memorial Day weekend, the line will be open from 12-4 p.m. EDT, Saturday and Sunday. GlaxoSmithKline Consumer Healthcare will also pay shipping and handling costs.

Smoking remains one of the leading causes of preventable death and disease and one of the most powerful and important addictions to break. That said, many smokers can't do it alone. Evidence-based treatments such as NRT, including the Commit lozenge, in combination with counseling offer a better chance of quitting versus cold turkey(2). More than 110 studies involving approximately 40,000 smokers have demonstrated the safety of NRT even in populations with specific health conditions, such as diabetes, high blood pressure, lung disease, and existing heart disease(3).
