Helping Tobacco Users Quit Act

This bill would require Medicaid and the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP) to cover services that help people stop using tobacco, including counseling, therapy, and medications, both prescription and over-the-counter, as long as they are supervised by a medical professional. People receiving these services would not have to pay anything out of pocket for them. For five years, the federal government would cover 90% of the cost of these services, with states paying the rest.
