In just bout every country, but the US, the Nicotrol Inhaler is OTC... This study date coincides with requests to the FDA to make it OTC in the US. I think that was their goal.
The more rabid anti-smoking activist (you know the type- the ones that warn about reduced harm products and want to ban smoking outside) have too much power in the US though and claimed that children would buy the inhalers and get hooked and smokers would just switch to the inhaler over smoking tobacco and never quit so it never happened. That and the inhaler, and any OTC NRT treatment, has a low success rate at 6 months, 1 year, and even lower at 5 years.
