Supporter Overview
Quitting smoking is the single best thing an individual can do to reduce their risk of lung cancer. In fact, after 10 years smokefree, your risk of developing lung cancer is cut in half. Of the 36.5 million current adult smokers, over 70 percent say they want to quit smoking and 40 percent will try this year. While quitting smoking can be difficult, pairing a behavioral support program—like a Freedom From Smoking® group clinic or online course —with nicotine replacement therapy can double your chances of quitting successfully.
Past and Current Projects
From October 29 through December 2, 2017, for every box of Nicorette® or NicoDerm® CQ® purchased at CVS Pharmacy, GSK Consumer Healthcare will donate $1, up to $100,000, to the American Lung Association's LUNG FORCE to raise awareness and critical funding for lung cancer research and support.
