Being a two pack a day smoker for twenty years put me in the hospital with a collapsed lung/pnemonia/plueral effusion/chest tubes..the list goes on.. fortunately, I was released after three weeks of recovery and the pulmonologist started this medication. I had tried everything on the market but this was a different situation and a different delivery of medication. It absolutely worked for me but I knew it had to be the solution too bc there wasn't another choice besides premature death at that point. I absolutely recommend it if you have tried everything else and it didn't work. It's not without side effects of course but I pushed through and I am so happy I did.

I am surprised to read that some experience a burning sensation. I have never had that issue. I feel very fortunate for that, as this is the only thing that helped me quit. I get the hand to mouth movement plus the sensation of smoke hitting the back of my throat. It truly works for me.
Can anyone tell me how expensive the inhaler is? I don't want to get a prescription and find out I can't afford it. I see it is used for quite awhile. Thank you.

Smoked for 40 years and tried everything on the market to quit. Doctor gave me this and I have been smoke free for 72 days now. First week was bad but got better after that. There is a slight burning in the mouth and affect on taste, but I had that when I smoked. I can now walk up the 11 flights of stairs for my job without stopping every 2 floors to catch my breath. It is great to be smoke free. I would recommend this to any smoker that wants to quit.
