Reviews for Nicotrol Inhaler to treat Smoking Cessation

Due to insurance issues, I was not able to get my Nicotrol inhaler until a week after I quit smoking. However, it came at a perfect time as I was craving the sensation of smoking and really wanted a cigarette. While not providing the exact pleasurable sensation of a cigarette it was an adequate substitute and kept my hands occupied. I went into a casino using it and not even tempted to buy or beg a cigarette.
Prior to quitting I smoked 20-30 cigarettes a day for about 20 years.
I found that while nicotine gum delivered a more powerful immediate hit of nicotine, the inhaler offered a longer term solution for the oral fixation of smoking.
So far, 2 weeks without a cigarette on my 1st serious quit attempt ever.

I am on day 3 of not smoking. I was a pack a day smoker for over 30 years. I have never tried to quit before. I think I have done very well. I have had some restlessness and some concentration issues but for the most part I can't say it has been hard. I have this inhaler and I use 1 cartridge a day. I know they say to use at least 6 but I can't even imagine using 6. I know that I have it if I need it and I have not had any side effects from it. Maybe a little high feeling but nothing to write home about.

I could not believe how drawing on the Nicotrol Inhaler felt like a real cigarette. I was able to finally quit by having this in my pocket and pulling it out just when absolutely needed. I used it for 2 days and that was all I needed. I had smoked for 24 years about a pack a day. I haven't smoked in 11 years.

I smoked for 38 years and knew I would need some type of hand to mouth jesture for a nicotine replacement in order to quit. I have been smoke free now for five months. No withdrawel symptoms at all. I am surprised! Great product!

I was a 2 pack a day smoker until I started using the Nicotrol Inhaler. This almost seems like you are smoking but you aren't. Even taste and feels like it.

Although my doctor thought this was far superior to anything else, it just didn't work for me. I was successful in stopping for 4 days. However, I couldn't sleep and I turned into a cranky old man. I had a real short fuse. I can see how this could be good for some but it just wasn't my cup of tea.

I smoked on average 1-2 packs a day for 15 years. When I was finally ready to quit, I used this. It took some getting used to, but ended up working. I only used this for 2 weeks and I was done. I quit in November of 1999 and am still not smoking. I am an RN and trust me, I tell many co-workers and patients about this product and my success with it.
