Codeine saved me on my return trip from India, when I was having horrible hacking bronchitis-coughs. Before I left there I had tried dextramethorphan (an OTC cough medicine), and it didn't touch the cough. So I made an extra effort to score some codeine just before my 24-hour flight odyssey home. Worked well, and even helped me sleep though much of those flight hours!
Even if it's just tea with honey, I'm glad there are alternatives to cough syrup with codeine... since unfortunately for my mother & codeine doesn't help us -- it makes us feel worse.

I vouch for codeine.
