What is a common side effect of the nicotine inhaler (Nicotrol inhaler)?

  1. Nasal irritation

  2. Mouth and throat irritation

  3. Vivid dreams

  4. Weight loss

The correct answer is: Mouth and throat irritation

The common side effect of the nicotine inhaler is mouth and throat irritation. This is because the active ingredient, nicotine, is absorbed through the lining of the mouth and throat, and can cause irritation or a burning sensation. The other options may be associated with other smoking cessation methods, but are not typically known as side effects of the nicotine inhaler. Nasal irritation is often a side effect of nasal spray or nasal inhalers, vivid dreams may occur with nicotine patches, and weight loss is not a common side effect of the nicotine inhaler.
