Compare the pharmacokinetics of Dihydroergotamine Mesylate (DHE) delivered by oral inhalation (MAP0004) or Intravenous (IV) DHE in smokers versus non-smokers.
Identify whether there are clinically significant differences in the tolerability of MAP0004 between smokers and non-smokers.

IV DHE then MAP0004
Smokers and non-smokers received Intravenous Dihydroergotamine Mesylate (IV DHE) at Visit 2 followed by MAP0004 7-11 days later at Visit 3.

Drug: MAP0004
1.0mg MAP0004 via inhalation at Visit 2 or 3 as per protocol Drug: IV DHE IV DHE administered at Visit 2 or 3 as per protocol
Other Name: D.H.E.45® |

- Cmax of Dihydroergotamine After MAP0004 and IV DHE Administration in Smokers Versus Non-smokers [ Time Frame: 48 hours ]The maximum concentration (Cmax) is the highest concentration of a drug measured in the plasma. Plasma is the clear portion of the blood. The Cmax of Dihydroergotamine is reported in picograms per milliliter (pg/ml).
- AUC(0-48) of Dihydroergotamine After MAP0004 and IV DHE Administration in Smokers and Non-smokers [ Time Frame: 48 hours ]The AUC(0-48) is the area under the plot of plasma concentration of drug against time after drug administration. Dihydroergotamine AUC(0-48) is reported in picograms times hour per milliliter (pg*h/ml).
