For Smoking Cessation "Whoever developed this nasal spray has got to be a masochist. Burns like fire and causes instant excessive nose run. Burns through the sinuses for quite a long time post-initial spray. However, does quench my want for a cigarette as I am too busy blowing my nose and screaming from the pain it causes if you forget and sniff at the same time you're delivering a spray to the nares."

For Smoking Cessation "I smoked for a long time and tried quitting so many times, but really did not have much luck on my own. I could tell some tales about trying to quit. My husband bought the patch for me to try, and I was really impressed by the fact that I really did not feel the need to smoke a cigarette. That went on for about 17 days. I then noticed that my eyes were very red all day, so much so that I could see the small vessels in my eyes distended. Then one evening, where I put the patch on my upper thigh (was running out of available spots), I began itching more than usual. When the patch was removed, the spot was swollen and very red, and it stung and was painful. My doctor has stopped me from any further use and diagnosed that I may be allergic to the adhesive."

For Smoking Cessation "Haven't started using it yet. Read a lot of good reviews. Anxious to talk to others that have. I'll need all the help I can get. Been a smoker for about 40 yrs. As soon as I get up, it's coffee and smokes. I have COPD, it's not bad. I really need to start walking, and I have a lot of back and leg pain. Well enough."

For Smoking Cessation "Started smoking at 14, graduated to at least 2 packs a day. In 2007, had my first stent, since then, several. What nobody told us was that you can lose your teeth, feet, or limbs. Had 5 roto-rooter procedures on 1 leg, the pain is the most excruciating I have ever experienced. Begged for God to take my life 1st time it hit me. I swore I would never smoke again but quit 5 years ago next month and still crave nicotine, smoked 63 years. Wish there was something less expensive than Nicorette, as it is very expensive. I do question the quality of each piece, some taste like no nicotine and others ok."
