Best Answer

From what I understand yes. I am a methadone patient and have been for many years. I smoked for a long time and both my methadone doctors told me the same thing; that if I would stop smoking I would be able to be on a smaller dose and it would hold me better. It apparently makes a big difference and blocks it somehow.
