Hi Ginger 59,
I recommend contacting your state or local health department. When I worked for the South Dakota Health Department they provided a "Quit Line" where individuals had free access to support and assistance paying for the patch or other medications to stop smoking. It's a safe bet that other states provide similar services. Another option would be a referral from your MD to a local program.
This is a great step towards heart health for yourself and your family!
All the best,
