Subjects who have been enrolled in another structured smoking cessation program (e.g., behavioral modification, hypnosis, acupuncture, or other alternative therapies) in the last 30 days. 4. Subjects who have been in another smoking cessation trial in the past 6 months. 5. Subjects who regularly use (greater than once per month) tobacco-based products other than cigarettes (eg, chew, snuff, snus, shisha, etc.). 6. Subjects with a history of coronary artery disease, myocardial infarction, stroke, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, or other significant pulmonary diseases. Controlled hypertensive subjects and mild asthmatics whose disease is controlled only with an as-needed inhaled beta agonist are acceptable. 7. Subjects with a history of cancer within the past 60 months other than basal cell carcinoma. 8. Subjects with a history of thromboembolic disease or taking warfin or any other anticoagulant, or anti-platelet drug such as clopidogrel (Plavix®) or pentoxifylline (Trental®). Low dose aspirin therapy is acceptable. 9. Subjects with screening laboratory abnormalities that are considered by the investigator to be clinically significant. 10. Subjects with a body mass index (BMI) \>35. 11. Subjects with poorly controlled diabetes or insulin-dependent diabetes. 12. Subjects with other known serious pathophysiology or topical or systemic disorders of any kind that would confound the results of the study. 13.

Subjects who have a positive urine drug screening result. 16. Subjects who are pregnant or lactating, or who plan to become pregnant during the course of the study. 17.
