Nicotine inhalers are not completely safe, but the only method to quit smoking that is safe is either cold turkey or methods that only use therapies like hypnosis or acupuncture. Using any method to quit smoking that replaces nicotine is going to have side effects associated with it and not be proper to use with some medical conditions or medications that are being taken due to dangerous interactions.
The nicotine inhaler is much safer than smoking for a person that has decided to quit smoking, because cigarettes do not only contain nicotine, they also contain other chemicals like tar that is dangerous for the lungs and promotes heart disease.
Some of the side effects that are associated with this type of quit smoking aid can be burning of the throat tissue or nausea. These in some cases will decrease with use, but some people will find that this is not the method for them to use to quit smoking. For people that do find this an acceptable method to quit smoking the inhaler provides between 300 and 400 puffs, which can provide the relief they need from nicotine cravings. |
