This product has blown my mind. I was disappointed to find out that the inhalers were discontinued, which gave me success in the past. Long story of why I want back to smoking. Anyway, I'm a Christian, and Jesus kept telling me that I just needed to… Read more
make the decision and to try the quick mist. Recently cigarettes got more expensive and it was a long weekend, my usual shop was closed for the weekend and I couldn't bring myself to pay service station prices... So it all lined up, and I had a few days off work to give the quick mist a go. A couple days went by fine, but I didn't want to get my hopes up too early. On the 4th day, yesterday, I got really strong cravings in the morning and was at the point where I was just about to drive down to the shops to get a packet. And I remembered that I hadn't had any quick mist for the day. So I thought, ok I'll give it one last shot, if it doesn't work, then I'll be back smoking again. I took 2 sprays, waited a few minutes, and boom. This rush came over me, and I felt like I just had a couple of smokes. I felt completely satisfied and I instantly knew right then, that I have quit for good!!! Definitely recommend this spray to anyone, if you truly want to quit, just give it a go over the weekend, you can do it. Just make the decision
Follow-up · Had a rough day at work last fortnight and grabbed a few beers and a packet of smokes; because beers and quick mist? How would that work right? Also in the back of my mind, I knew quick mist would help me to quit again if the smokes pulled me back in. So I Finished those smokes, felt guilty and got back in the wagon. Again, had a few beers… Read more
QuickMist is the only thing that ever got me off cigarettes. I used to smoke 20 per day. I have not smoked for 3 weeks and have no withdrawal symptoms. Just open your mouth wide and spray under your tongue. It gives a better, stronger effect than a cigarette. I feel happy and invigorated after it. It's much better than a cigarette. Finally a product that works! Show details · 1
Warning: Nicorette A reprehensible corporate parasite is the only retail supplier of Nicotine Mouth Spray in Australia a monopoly. Nicorette regularly increase their price annually for the QuickMist spray by over 25% (each year) a despicable greedy act considering it is used to help people quite smoking & can save lives! Nobody likes Blood sucking parasites

Causes horrific pain – It's the worst kept secret that nicotine replacement doesn't actually work, the business model is like the diet industry; if you don't solve the problem you have guaranteed repeat business. But this spray is even worse than all the others. I used it and immediately experienced an unbearable burning so severe it brought me to tears, which also gave… Read more
me hiccups the way extremely spicy food does. This stuff is truly awful. It's no wonder the pharmaceutical industry worked so hard to make vapes script only while this stuff is available everywhere.
Aside from the initial taste, it works well – So i have to say I’ve been smoking for 10 years. Tried vaping but that lead to smoking more. Tried the gum but it taste awful and couldn’t chew it long enough to be effective. Tried patches but they gave me hives. Now there’s this. Taste god awful. However it kills a craving almost instantly. The buzz is like a cigarette which i like. Also the… Read more
taste only last for a minute or so. Which i can handle. I’ve quit smoking many times and this Id like to be the last. I do feel a bit more confident though knowing this actually kills a craving. It’s day three now and the taste is actually getting better (still awful) but better. It’d be like taking a sip of listerine and swallowing it. I can deal with it since it actually gets rid of the craving. I’d recommend it for sure. Silver lining is that the taste ensures I only use it when my craving gets bad. It’s actually helping me quit. Anywho, good luck whoever is reading this. If you can just last day 1, every day after gets a lot better. Day 3 feels way better than day 1. Going for day 4 seems easy. Focus on the hour if that helps. Get creative about how you stack up time and remember any craving you get through is a pat on the back. Don’t belittle how addictive nicotine is. Good luck!

Highly addictive – I have been using this for 3yrs now, a smoker for 30yrs, I smoked 1’ 50g pouch of tobacco a week and living in South East England I could go to Belgium and back in 6hrs and get for around $18 pouch, buying 60 pouches a time. I use 2 of these sprays a week now costing me $16 each via Amazon. Costing me twice as much, better for my health but harder to quit than smoking. Show details
I would like to stop using it – Diagnosis with lung cancer in my rt upper lobe 23rd December 2021 had part lung removed in April 2022 Smoked 60 a day for many years easy to stop with whole attack patches spray and gum Quckly dropped off to quick mist spray one or twice a day Now using it multiple times a day. Yep I would say I'm addicted to it. But my other option was a pine… Read more
box. So on balance it's been good for me
I had tried everything to stop proir to diagnosis so on balance it's good but I would like to stop using it. But my fear is I might well smoke again without it
That's my story. Good luck my fellow addicts
Beats chewing gum! – It’s good because creates a lot less rubbish than using the gum and gets a very good hit of nicotine also doesn’t give you a sore jaw from chewing. Anything to stop me smoking is ok with me And it has. I have tried the gum, patches, inhaler, lozenges and I prefer this one the best. The only negative is if I run out of this and my other go to the… Read more
gum I’m always a high risk of dashing out for smokes. So I just try to stay well prepared. Seems to work out a little more expensive than the gum though I would say. But it’s still a big saving from smoking on my purse and my lungs.
Negative reviews
$40 down the drain. One spray only still hicupping and gagging 10 minutes later. Drank water. Didn’t help. Awful. I’ll stick to patches and my my poor will power .very disappointed. Show details
I didn't know they were discontinuing the inhaler which worked really well for me no side effects and kept me off cigarettes but for 2 weeks I was looking for them at every chemist in town none of the chemists knew that they weren't coming back in the end I bought cigarettes 2 pkts infant so 6 months off cigarettes was down the drain now I'm… Read more
trying the quick mist it's terrible hurts my stomach is not a patch on the inhaler I won't buy anymore quick mist will have to go cold Turkey I'm so disappointed in nicorette that I don't want to support their business anymore
Burning mouth spray – First day on patches. Also brought Quickmist mouth spray. Instant burning, instant drooling of saliva and slight numbing feeling in mouth. Will stick with patches and willpower! Quite worrying side effects Show details

Ride to hell – Just tried Quickmist Mint for the first time. I sprayed close to my mouth like instructions said. Instant burning. Like literally just felt like I’d inhaled a tablespoon of chilli. Awful strange sensation in the back of my neck. Broke out into a cold sweat. Took a sip of water because I didn’t know what else to do with myself. Stomach started… Read more
turning and I abandoned the dishes I was washing and went and lay down. Feelings went away quite quickly but Jesus Mother of Mary. Who needs illicit drugs when they have Johnson & Johnson?
Be careful – I stopped smoking with nicotine patches this year. Found it hard to come off nicotine completely. Got down to last 7mg patches. Decided to try quickmist and gradually reduce the sprays or even just stay on 5sprays a day. I wasnt ready to quit nicotine completely. A month later and I was using a new spray every 5 days. This stuff isn't cheap and… Read more
its incredibly addictive. Use with full knowledge of this and with care. I found it to be more addictive than smoking.

Perfect to quit but a new addiction will start – Lifesaver saved my life from smoking but I think I’m losing my hair because of the nicotine sprays - I use a lot of it every 30 mins and overdose hard much more than I’m supposed to but I think I’m losing my hair because of it and I’m a woman. Bald woman not a good look. Not bald yet but am scared. Did you guys go through same thing ?
Literally can't live without it – I smoked for 43 yrs and then got told I have COPD. I went to our NHS stop smoking group, used patches and quick mist. I stopped smoking but 3 yrs on still using quick mist! Really struggling to get off this addiction. I have treatment for acid reflux and IBS this product is definitely not helping my stomach problems. Show details
Physically dangerous - mouth, tongue, airway – I bought the spray to replace some cigarettes, as I smoke 200 per week at $340 a carton. If the spray at $30 a canister would replace at least 100 - 150 cigarettes a week I would have been much better off. I have no intention of completely stopping smoking. Just wanted to save some money. Purchased a 3 spray pack. Total, complete, utter waste of… Read more
money - WHY
I followed the very basic instructions on the package insert ( avoid spraying onto lips ), spray into mouth. - First time - it burned my mouth, tongue and caused inflammation / swelling of my throat ( could not swallow / difficulty breathing) which lasted about 7 mins. I re read the basic package instructions and attempted to call Johnson & Johnson - only to receive a voice message that said " please call back during office hours". It was office hours at the time. Conclusion - don't bother calling them for advice. - Second time - used spray under my tongue - advised by the Quit Line, who originally recommended I try the spray. It had the exactly the same effect but less inflammation / swelling of my throat ( could not swallow / difficulty breathing) which lasted about 5 mins. I also watched the video regarding correct use of the spray - again only states in the mouth, avoid the lips, nothing about spray under the tongue. - Third time - just the same as second attempt.
Visited doctor who said that I had burned my tongue, inside of my mouth and had an ulcer / infection at the back of my throat which required treatment. Sprays now thrown into the rubbish bin. Don't waste your money or compromise your mouth, throat, tongue or airways.This is a dangerous product.
Judge for yourself – Like a lot of things in life and particularly any form of drug, everyone reacts differently to things. I have found this product to be absolutely brilliant. I have tried everything to quit but this is the only thing to have made it easy. a 35 year habit of around 30 a day. It's been nearly 3 months and I feel great! Quitting cigarettes, regardless… Read more
of the way you do it, still requires mind power. Some of the reviews on here seem to have forgotten that. I am smiling that people are saying it's addictive. Yes. It contains nicotine!!! So please try it for yourself. Follow the instructions properly and stay strong. And good luck!
Helpful and harmful. Read the fine print – I've used it purely for its nootropic effects (nicotine as a cognitive enhancer) not for smoking cessation. Problem is if swallowed. Burning easophagus and stomach irritation (hickups is just the start). It's in the fine print. According to a medically review article on Netdoctor it should be avoid by: "People with a peptic ulcer or inflammation… Read more
of the stomach lining (gastritis), foodpipe (oesophagitis), or mouth and throat. Swallowed nicotine can aggravate these conditions." I can say for sure the tablets are much more 'burnie' for me! Right now I am using antacid and prescription medicine (Nizac) to deal with really bad heartburn - this is definitely making it worse, if not the whole cause.
I am stopping now.
Based on other reviews here I will need to taper off the dose to avoid sudden withdrawal headaches and grumpiness. Great.
If you need it to stop smoking, then a possible solution is spray in mouth, let some absorb, spit out the excess. Probably 70% better but still not ideal. Do post your experiences...
Note: Smoking and poorly controlled acid reflux are apparently significant risk factors for oesophageal cancer. Just because your risk of all cancers goes down doesn't make it worth exposing yourself to risks a good idea. I'm no doctor but I am thinking Reduce your use now.
Highly Addictive – Nicrotte Quickmist combined with patches successfully helped me give up cigarettes HOWEVER nicorette quickmist it is highly addictive. At first the use reasonably pleasant and takes away the cravings. Notwithstanding once you have eliminated the cigarettes the nicorette quickmist withdrawl is worse than cigarettes. I have given up cigarettes… Read more
previously without any NRT and by far that was easy compared to getting off nicorette mist. BEWARE. Highly addictive and very unpleasant side effects.
Most Addictive Substance I've Ever Used – I was an on and off smoker for many years but could never properly stop it outright, I thought I would try this product and have now been a constant user for around 3 years, I have not smoked for years now. When I go anywhere I take this thing with me, I always used the rationale, well its got to be better than smoking right, and maybe that is… Read more
true BUT I am so badly addicted to this thing and when I try to reduce the intake I get headaches and very apparent negative symptoms very quickly. Still using it and feel it is now taking away from my overall health, constant stomach issues, gastric pain into the chest, back pain etc and after many health checks with nothing showing up I think I have finally joined the dots on what is the underlying problem. I am a healthy person, have worked as a professional pilot all my life so although I'm not a road scholar, I am also not a fool...... but my choice to use this "pure addiction device" was possibly the worst decision of my life so far with regards to health anyway. Avoid it at all cost unless you have a set plan and stick to the exit strategy. Should be a prescribed medicine in my opinion. Good luck.
Quickmist is my addiction – I’ve been using quick mist for over a year and can’t seem to give it up, I have no interest in smoking ciggerettes, just need my quick mist fix. Hoping one day I can get off it Show details
It really helped – I was a cigarette smoker for 32 years. I'd tried hypnotherapy, cold turkey, patches. Nothing worked. My chemist suggested I tried this spray. it tastes awful. But spray it UNDER your tongue and the cravings go away. After a couple of weeks I realized that I stopped craving cigarettes completely and I was only using the spray maybe a couple times a… Read more
week by then. Yeah it tastes a bit yuck - but I saved so much money and now I've stopped smoking. It helps.

Make sure you don't get addicted to this!! – Ok I have given it a 3 because it can help take the edge off but side effects haven't been examined well. I believe this should be given by a pharmacist and not just over the counter. 1. Sleep apnea 2. Bleeding piles. I was bleeding like anything had a colonoscopy to figure it out and nothing. The bleeding was everyday. The moment I quit… Read more
nicorette it stopped in a week. 3. Sleep Nd anxiety issues.
Again make sure you have a plan to quickly move off it and don't use it for longer just because it is available freely.
It works for me – Have stopped smoking 25 cigarettes a day with the help of Quickmist. I have read a considerable number of reviews of this product on various websites. I note that it does not seem to suit all users. All I can say is that it definitely works for me. Show details
The quickmist helps me stay balanced – I’m very happy with this product. I’ve smoked for 18 years and have tried quitting multiple times. Using the quickmist in combination of the patch is making this process quite easy. There’s programs you can register to in order to get free products which makes it affordable. The only downfall I find with the mist is throat irritation, I always… Read more
have to clear my throat. I’d rather that than get lung cancer. I have tried different methodologies and will continue to do so. Great work to the designer
Relieves cravings and creates a step towards quitting smoking – I wonder why the other reviews are so negative? The only conclusion i can come to is that smokers tend to be more "glass half empty" sorts of people. The references to the mist tasting like "Lucifer had taken a dump in my mouth" and "Satan is partying in my mouth" just show how little awareness and Critical Reasoning Processes smokers have. The… Read more
taste and smell of tobacco is one of the most horrid substances that people willingly consume. Reviewers are criticising it for being more addictive than tobacco; as if the 7000 chemicals and 69 known Cancer-causing carcinogens are less addictive... come on people! Some proportionality in your assessment is important. It's designed to assist you with some nicotine to quit smoking and prevent all those debilatating potential consequences of tobacco smoking.
Ten times more addictive than cigarettes – Jessica is spot on. I too have gone back to smoking, but nicorette spray keeps pulling on my mind like a permanent urge for dope. After a while, cigarettes stop giving u even a fraction of the nicotine kick as this spray does. It shoots nicotine in alcohol base straight through your mouth skin into the blood. Hence, so hard to break this addiction. Quitting cig seems like a piece of cake in comparison.
Stay away from this product – I have been a non-smoker for a few years now, I thought I had it under control but this spray has been more addictive than the cigarettes ever were. All this time, the nicotine spray has been the silent enemy. My teeth have been eroded away from grinding and weakening them from the alcohol in this spray, it's going to cost thousands to get them… Read more
fixed.
Be warned, this spray is HIGHLY addictive, the physical withdrawal from not using the spray is much worse than cigarettes are. Johnson & Johnson have really pulled a number on consumers with this product.
Warning!! – Keep away from eyes!! When i bought this product, i took out of the pack. I was having a look at product when my daughter came running into my room and slammed her hand down on the button. The spray went straight into my eyes. I screamed. Id never in my life felt such excruciating pain. My eyes felt like they were on fire. I couldnt open my eyes… Read more
at all. I walked around screaming and stumbling into everything bcos i could not think of anything else but the pain. I was trying to get to water. This pain lasted roughly about 2 minutes. Longest and most painful 2 minutes of my life. I splashed my eyes with water, and very slowly the pain eased. Even hours later my eyes were still very sore. After what had happened with the spray, i thought no way will i ever risk that happening to me or anyone else again, so i threw it straight in the bin. So never actually tried it. But just wanted to warn others to be careful! Honestly no exaggeration. Ive never felt pain like this before!
Too much of anything is not good for nothing – If you stick on to the number of sprays prescribed, you will be OK. But, it is addictive. Using in excess, creates elevated heart beats, burning stomach, giddiness and loss of appetite. Use it as how you use a medication prescribed by your doctor that is stick on to the number of sprays as per label . Show details
Made by johnson and johnson – Buyer beware, it's a con! Quickmist is made by a company thats proven it cant be trusted. It's addictive, it burns, causes vomiting, hiccups, increases bp and heartrate. More addictive than cigarettes and you can use it in places smoking isnt allowed. Well played J & J, well played. Show details
horrific – instant burning pain all through my mouth/palate after one spray, followed immediately by vomiting. felt like I'd just sprayed acid in my mouth. I got a similar reaction to the other mouth nicotine replacement therapies but this is by far the worst, so if you didnt react well to other ones, dont bother trying this. Patches are fine so I'll stick to only using them. Show details
Don't do it – Whilst this product is absolutely incredible for quitting smoking - it is the most effective out of the NRT products out there - it is severely addictive - 6 years on and I still can't manage to quit it, I have even gone back to smoking to try and stop my addiction, but nope I don't want cigarettes, just the quickmist. I spend more on this product then I ever did on smoking.
Early Signs are GOOD!!! – I started smoking when i was 19, I have smoked everyday for 11 years. Used to smoke around 10 cigarettes per day. Upto 20 with alcohol. I have tried multiple times to quit, could barely go 5 hours. Started using this 10 days ago. no urge to smoke yet and I spray it 15 times a day. so far so good. I'd give 5 stars but too early.
Love it! – I have smoked heavily for 40 years and tried to quit so many times. I tried Zyban, Champix, acupuncture and hypnosis. On a whim I thought I'd buy a Nicorette spray...wasn't even seriously trying to give up, and here I am 2 mths smoke free. Easiest quit ever! I will never go back now Show details
