NICORETTE® QuickMist is a nicotine replacement therapy (NRT). It is used to relieve and /or prevent withdrawal symptoms and reduce the cravings you get when you try to stop smoking or when cutting down the number of cigarettes you smoke.
Ideally you should always aim to stop smoking. You can use NICORETTE® mouthspray to achieve this by using it to completely replace all your cigarettes. However NICORETTE® mouthspray can also be used in other ways,
- if you feel unable to stop smoking completely, or wish to replace certain cigarettes and therefore it can help you to cut down the number of cigarettes you smoke.
- at those times when you can’t and do not want to smoke. For example, - Where you don’t want to smoke and avoid harm to others e.g children or family. - Smoke free areas e.g Pub, work, public transport e.g aeroplanes.
It may also help increase your motivation to quit. When making a quit attempt a behavioural support programme will increase your chances of success.
