Quick Reference
The IRS considers smoking cessation programs and prescription drugs to stop smoking as qualified medical expenses. Following the CARES Act, over-the-counter medicines and drugs, including nicotine replacement therapies like Nicorette, are now eligible for reimbursement without a prescription. This means that expenses for products designed to help you stop smoking are generally covered.
