Hoosiers can now get products to help them quit smoking without a prescription. State Health Commissioner Dr. Kris Box signed an order yesterday to make it easier for Indiana residents to get smoking-cessation medications. Indiana is the 12th state to establish a policy that lets pharmacists prescribe products like Chantix. Box’s order also prevents pregnant women on Medicaid from having a copay for quit-smoking products in order to discourage women from smoking while pregnant.
