Thanks for all the input, everybody. Still not quite sure what I'm going to do, but I have quite a bit of time to think about it anyway.
>DSCH: Does nicotine help with your other symptoms ASV?
Being a nicotine addict, it's kind of hard to be objective about that. :-) Certainly nicotine reduces stress and is comforting to me, but that's surely due to the physiological dependence. The only reason I ask about indefinite use of the Inhaler is not really because I believe I'll have a difficult time tapering off (in fact, I'm now using one cartridge [4mg] per day, down from three cartridges a couple weeks ago), but rather because I fear being drawn into the nicotine trap -- all my friends smoke, so being around them will surely make me want to light up. Maybe I could remedy this situation by *only* using the Inhaler on those occasions when I have cravings, once I've tapered off... hmmm...
