Well I am on day 3 now and still smoke free--I am glad I got the inhaler to go along with the patch beacuse yes I have had the cravings but a couple if puffs of the inhaler and Im great again!! So far one of the best things I ever could have done and I would encourage any smokers out there to give it a try--why not its free!!

Thanks for this... I've been wanting to quite, but the ades have been too expensive, and cold turkey just was not pleasent for any of my family members, thus the reason why it didn't work! Hopefully I qualify. Thanx again.

[aamandaa]

I think everyone qualifies, they started out with one stop program where you called an 800 number then that study filled up and they began this one, they randomize this study, example-my husband got the entire 4 weeks worth and the inhaler all in one visit, now I have to go in weekly for my next weeks supply and I purchased the inhaler myself for those just in case cravings (soo glad I did) but the pharmasist said that they usually dont give the inhaler until the end of the 4 weeks just for any craving you may have so he said to save my recipt and he will reimburse me after the 4 weeks...basically they want to see who does better and quits the people who get it all and go or the ones who have the support of seeing the pharmasist weekly.

Good luck to all of you trying to quit..it is not easy but you will be glad you did. I did it cold turkey just over 6 years ago. Whatever works for you..do it!
