Freedom from Smoking Starts Now

To use the nicotine inhaler, place it in your mouth and suck in with either deep or shallow breaths. The vaporized nicotine will make its way into your throat.

During the first three months of its use, you can use six to sixteen cartridges a day and then start reducing the number during the next six to twelve weeks.

Avoid the use of inhalers beyond six months.

The plus of an inhaler is that the handling and inhaling procedure of the cartridge does match the behavioral aspects of smoking. Moreover, the quitting rates with nicotine inhalers are the same as with nicotine gum, patches and Zyban®. However, the method is not without side effects. The most common are irritation of the mouth’s lining, runny nose, coughs and digestive problems.

Most of these symptoms, however, go away with regular use.
