Hi Andy I think I used then way back when on another quit.... Is it white and you stick a cartridge in it?? If so you should just take a couple of puffs to get rid of the craving?? I think that's how it worked... However I think Andrew-S used one with his quit so hopefully he'll come and explain better than me (once he gets himself out of bed that is ๐Ÿ™€๐Ÿ‘)

Hahaha I just got out of bed can't believe iv slept for 9 days??? Where does the time go.

Hopefully ur well set with ur inhalator. They are really good I used it all the time almost as a comfort.

I see the others explained how to use it. I had it stuck in my mouth practically 24/7 lol. ๐Ÿ˜€

Hi Andy , I used an inhalator when I quit. You can buy different strength cartridges to put in. The pharmacist can advise you.

I used them for about 3 months. Each month I gradually reduced the strength and by 3 months didnt need any cartridges.

Another tip is Boots chemist do their own brand and is just the same as the nicorette.

They usually are cheaper and often have special offers on them.

Good luck. xx:)

Sorry for the late reply had a silly virus on my laptop, so been waiting patiently. :(

Thanks for the great advise,I'm starting my life without cigarettes tomorrow but still feeling a bit worried !!

Aup Andy :) and thankyou for asking the question :) :) this is what we want :) if anybody is'nt sure how to use an NRT product, then please, please, just ask :) :)

Rite Andy, the inhalator, as our lovely Briarwood has said, put the tip into your mouth, pull the outside piece down, sooo, the inside tip is pointing to your upper gums :) and sort of tut it a few times :) this way you should get almost instant relief and it will last longer :) :)

Thanks guys have just made it through my first morning normally the worst part of my day,I changed my routine by having some toast with my tea instead of a cigarette. Also had some very weird dreams last night wearing a clear24 hr patch,would it be ok to remove before I go to bed and put it on in the morning ?

Yeh might be worth doing that people have said the patches can make you have strange dreams. Well done on getting through so far keep it going ๐Ÿ˜„

Thanks for that will give it a go. One thing that has helped me today I have downloaded an app on my phone called Smoke Free,it gives you a real time update on all aspects that effect you personally. Very encouraging !!!!!
