no don’t inhale. Instead take 2 or 3 short puffs into your mouth, like sipping on a straw. Hope this makes sense. Good luck

This. Suck briefly like taking a sip from a straw.

To get the “smoking” action I then hold my breath for a second and “exhale” even though there’s nothing there to exhale lol.

I used to puff on it the same as a cigarette. It was the only thing that gave a similar hit at the back of the throat. Having said that…..it didn’t help me to give up. The only thing that worked for me was going cold turkey.

Wishing you more luck than me🤞🙏🥰

I puff. The nicotine hit is actually delivered to the back of the throat. Works wonders for me and has kept me off the 60 a day habit for the last 2 years.
