“I was asked by Carusele to participate in the #WalgreensQuitForGood campaign, sponsored by Walgreens and Perrigo. Although I have been compensated, all opinions are my own.”
They say old habits are hard to break and when it comes to my dad’s addictive smoking habits, I couldn’t agree more. My dad has been an avid smoker for over 50 years and I’ve tried convincing him to quit for at least 20 of those years. He knows it’s detrimental to his health, but the thought of not having this as part of his daily routine has been a challenging, intimidating, and in some ways, scary idea for him to grasp. I think more than anything, he’s afraid of failing. That’s why we’re making it our New Year’s resolution to help him quit for good. With support from our family, the right Walgreens Smoking Cessation products, and a personalized plan from the Walgreens team, this is going to be the year he finally kicks this bad habit to the curb.
I think the biggest motivators for him to quit this year is our growing family and putting more effort into his overall health. With 3 grandkids to love on, it’s never a dull moment when we visit. These kids are his world and I know he wants to be around to watch them grow up. To do that, we’re all making better choices for a healthier, longer life. We know this journey for my dad won’t be easy, but we’re excited to support him whenever he needs us.
One of the biggest ways I’m supporting him is with these effective smoking cessation products from Walgreens. They offer a wide variety of pharmacist recommended products to deliver controlled, therapeutic doses of nicotine to help with difficult, physical withdrawal symptoms & relieves cravings so he’s always prepared. Compared to Nicorette and NicoDerm active ingredients, these are much more affordable with a 100% satisfaction guaranteed.
With their great specials, I stocked up on their Coated Nicotine Gum packs and Nicotine Lozenges so my dad has plenty on hand to use. The Nicotine Gum is available in 2mg or 4mg strengths and lasts about 30 minutes each. He can chew up to 20 pieces per day. He keeps this Fruit Freeze Flavor in his car at all times and the Cinnamon flavor at home. Walgreens also offers Nicotine Lozenges which is a good option for people who may avoid gum due to TMJ problems.
From now through 2/28, when you purchase your 4th Nicotine Mini Lozenge or Coated Nicotine Gum pack, you’ll save $10 on your next purchase of one Nicotine Mini Lozenge or Coated Nicotine Gum – must be a MyWalgreens member. You can also take advantage of their BOGO50 special where you purchase one product and get the 2nd for 50% off. Offer ends 2/27.
This New Year, my dad is taking the first step to living a smoke-free life and it’s already looking brighter for him! Now it’s your turn to make a change for the better and Walgreens can help.
