One stop smoking aid available today is the nicotine nasal spray. It became available by prescription in March of 1996. The nicotine nasal spray comes in a pump bottle and is sprayed into your nose, one spray into each nostril.

If you use the spray, don’t inhale while you spray because the nicotine should be absorbed in the nasal lining. Once on the nasal lining, the nicotine is slowly absorbed into the bloodstream.

If you happen to inhale while you spray, the nicotine will end up in your throat, where you will swallow it. If you swallow nicotine, it won’t work because your stomach acid will destroy it.

One popular stop smoking aid is the nicotine inhaler is available by prescription. It works similar to other nicotine products such as gum, except that it places nicotine directly in the lungs (similar in some cases to what smoking does for the smoker).

This gets the nicotine into the bloodstream more quickly and also provides a certain psychological crutch, since those who use the nicotine inhaler imitate their smoking behaviors by “puffing” on the inhaler similar to what they would do when they puff on a cigarette.

The inhaler’s plastic inhaler contains a nicotine cartridge. When smokers inhale, air passes through the cartridges, which in turn vaporizes the nicotine in the cartridges. This vapor is then inhaled into the lungs and absorbed into the bloodstream.

In most cases, nicotine patch use is safe. However, it is a medicine, and it should be used with caution even though it can be obtained over the counter. Be aware that you should NEVER smoke when you’re using the patch.

Nicotine Patch Side Effects

The nicotine patch does have some side effects even from normal use, including upset stomach, diarrhea, headaches, weakness, dizziness, or blurred vision. You may also have exceptionally vivid dreams or interrupted sleep patterns when you first quit smoking and are using the patch.

In some cases, the patch can cause skin irritation such as mild burning or itching, but this usually goes away within about an hour. If the irritation continues, try moving the patch to different spot. If it still doesn’t go away, take it off and get in contact with your doctor before you continue using it.
