...This little tube is the Nicorette inhaler supplied by my Stop smoking group. I visited the group on Tuesday past to get advice and a prescription for the inhaler. There were 2 nurses there for both support and medical advice. It was a very casual meeting and everyone there was suffering the same problems all smokers have when they eventually decide to stop the habit.
A course of inhalers would normally cost in the region of £39 per week, I am getting ... ...starter pack which contains 6 nicorette nicotine cartridges. These are about the thickness of a biro and about one inch long. They are clear plastic tubes containing a swab of tightly packed cotton impregnated with nicotine. The ends of this tube are sealed with metal foil. The actual inhaler is slightly larger to facilitate in insertion of the cartridge.
A small twist of one end and a quick pull and the inhaler opens to allow the insertion. On ...

Advantages: Similarity to smoking Disadvantages: none
I have been a smoker for 40 or so years managing to get through between 20 and 40 cigarettes a day. Whilst it is perfectly true that smoking has probably done irreparable harm to my health and cost me the price of a house in the country, it is equally true that I have enjoyed every single one and at times wished that I could smoke two at once. (The last statement will mean nothing to a non-smoker)

I then decided to really go for it and see just how far I could get. Checking out the various aids from “nicorette” I decided to give the inhilator a trial run. For those of you who don’t know what this is, it is a plastic holder not unlike a fat ballpoint pen, containing a capsule of nicotine. It ...

...cigarettes a day. The Nicorette inhalor has proved to be a great tool for giving up the horrible herb forever.
You can buy the inhalor in a starter kit for six pounds with 6 cartridges although it is cheaper to buy the refiler kit as you get a inhalor with the refill kit anyway with 42 cartridges for 20 pounds. The cartridges are filled with 10 Mil of Nicotine and the inhalor is built in such a way that only a minimum amount of nicotine goes to ... ...smoking. It advises you on the package to start with six cartridges a day although I have not got through more than three.

The Nicorette Inhaler comes in two varieties. A starter pack costs £6, and contains the Inhalator, case, six cartridges and instructions. The full pack costs £20 and also contains an Inhalator and case, but instead of six cartridges, you get forty-two!You're looking at £1 a cart in the small pack compared to around 50p a cart in the big one.

Advantages: Does Not Kill You, really does calm cravings Disadvantages: The plastic tube is just asking to be chewed on, when you first start
As a smoker of 7 years who hates cigarettes, I decided to completly quit and try to replace my nicotine intake using this inhalator.
My realtionship with the inhalator has been a roller-coaster ride of love and reliance!. When you first buy this product (buy a starter pack - they are great value compared to the other options) you may find it rather harsh on the throat & it may give you quite a nicotine rush. I have read a review that criticises ... ...first cigarette - harsh on your throat & can give you quite a rush!!!! SO EXACTLY THE SAME THEN!
The point is if you can get used to smoking you can get used to inhalators. I hated the inhalator for the 1st day and saw no noticable difference with my nicotine cravings. However, over the course of a couple of weeks I was reaching for my inhalator 1st thing in the morning and craved that NOT CIGS!
Interesting points/Advantages: Nicotine is not dangerous ...

...you still need will-power, but nicorette inhalor does help a lot.
I was smoking 20 cigs a day, tried giving up few times before, and always gave in to those nasty cancer sticks. A friend suggested trying nicorette, which I had never heard of before. I bought just a small starter pack of them to try about 2 weeks ago.
First day was quite hard.. Getting bad cravings and it was that going for a cig, the habit bit that I couldnt get out of my head. ... ...but also the habit part.. Nicorette allows you to deal with one thing at a time, the cravings then habit.
I found I only needed 3 cartridges a day and thats with puffing on it several times a day.. It does take the edge of the craving and makes it more bearable to deal with. One puff of a cig is equivalent to ten puffs on the inhaler but without all the chemicals and tar.
I would advise anyone that enjoys alcoholic drink at times, to give it a ...

...was time to try a Nicorette product of some description. I didn’t like the chewing gum and a friend had told me that with the patches on, you take in nicotine whether you like it or not, so I decided to try the inhaler.
I used to smoke 20 Silk Cut every day (5mg tar, 5mg nicotine) and was a little worried about hard it was going to be, but I planned a date to stop (about 10 days in the future) and bought a starter pack of inhalers at £5.99.

I carried it with me everywhere (you can be quite discreet about using it). I stopped using mine within 2 weeks of giving up and haven’t touched it since. I suspect that by doing so, I found that I did turn to snacking and did put on a little weight. Had I stayed with the programme, I suspect ...

The Nicorette Inhalor is not the most trendy thing to be seen sticking out of your mouth but I have got quite discreet at having a little puff in restaurants and the such like as it is quite small.

...times before, using all the nicorette substitutes (although I think there are tabs out now that I didn't use), and nothing worked. I don't think the inhalor made me forget about smoking or help me quit, it was more a case of having my will power up at the time and then using the inhalor to see me through the rough patches. I was always one for chewing the tops of pens so I went through a number of inhalors. I was nearly buying a new one every time ... ...them without refills at the end! The cartridges were easy to load, with a satisfying POP when they went in. And the hit was instantaneous, this was a big advantage over the patches. When you were sucking on the inhalor it didn't make me want to puke, a big advantage over the gum. I was small enough to be descreet.

Advantages: Helped cut down the number of cigarettes smoked Disadvantages: Expensive
I was smoking more than 40 cigarettes a day when I bought the inhalator. I did find it fairly effective at first and I was able to cut down my smoking to under twenty a day. I could not stop smoking altogether though. I would have needed to puff on the little white plastic tip constantly to avoid smoking. I eventually gave up using the inhalator because it was costing too much. Light to moderate smokers would probably find this useful. It did feel ...
