Choosing NRT products like Nicorette® QuickMist 1mg/Spray Mouthspray Nicotine Spearmint- Single- 150 Sprays is a safer alternative to smoking tobacco or vaping. The harmful toxins found in cigarettes, such as tar, lead, cyanide, and ammonia, are responsible for smoking-related diseases and death, not the nicotine itself. While NRT provides nicotine, it does so without these dangerous chemicals, significantly reducing health risks.

Whether you're looking to quit completely or cut down the number of cigarettes or e-cigarettes you consume, Nicorette QuickMist Spearmint 1mg/Spray Mouthspray Nicotine Spearmint- Single- 150 Sprays offers a practical solution.

When to Use Nicorette® QuickMist

If you are unable to stop smoking/vaping or do not feel ready to quit at this time, you should replace as many cigarettes/e-cigarettes as possible with the mouthspray.

You can also use the mouthspray on those occasions when you can't or don't want to smoke/vape (e.g., social situations).

2. Secondly, if you can't manage this, you can use NRT as a safer alternative to smoking as the risks to your baby are far less than smoking, however you should talk to your doctor, pharmacist or nurse for advice. Products used intermittently, including Nicorette® QuickMist, may be preferable to nicotine patches.

If you are breast-feeding:

1. Firstly, you should try to give up smoking/vaping without NRT.
