Nicorette QuickMist Questions & Answers

I wish I could help. I too have been addicted to N.R.T products since 2007. I first attempted to stop smoking that year and started on patches and lozenges as there was a program ran by a nearby hospital to aid people to quit smoking. After many unsuccessful attempts to give up smoking I kept trying and finding the only thing that stopped me was the Nicotine gum. My ex partner and I first started on the Nicabate classic flavoured gum and used to go through packet after packet of it together for about 8 years. Then we were left devastated when the brand discontinued their classic flavour as we couldn’t stand the flavoured ones like mint and fruit and stuff as it didn’t make us feel like we were getting our nicotine fixes like with the original flavour. So we were forced to switch to the Nicorette brand that had the classic flavour but we never thought it was ever as good as the original Nicabate one. I think it was literally 15 years later and we were both still buying it. Last I heard he finally managed to come off it but I haven’t and every time I tried I was a high risk of buying smokes and making myself feel physically sick for days on end after smoking them. So just recently I started on the quick mist in attempt to save my jaw from anymore trauma after chewing the gum for so many years. And even that wasn’t easy sometimes I still crave the gum. Sorry I couldn’t be more help to you I too am a nicotine addict and it’s definitely not ideal but in my situation it’s been the only way off the cigarettes.

Hi Annie. I quit 6 months ago using Quickmist and actually found it really easy. For the first three months, I did a double spray every half hour (or eventually, when I thought about it or felt the need). Then over two weeks, I reduced it to one spray whenever I felt the need. By this stage I was barely needing it anyway. Then for two weeks I did a spray in the morning and one at night but that was more for my mentality than actual need. Then I just stopped taking it.

I was smoking 30 cigarettes a day and had been smoking for 32 years. Quickmist was the best decision I ever made. Seriously. I’m very weak with a highly addictive personality. If I can quit, anyone can.

A couple of side notes: the first couple of days, regardless of how you quit, are always the most difficult. I started while on holidays and, if I felt like I was struggling, I would take a nap. And drink plenty of water to flush out the toxins from the cigarettes. I also downloaded the QuitNow app. Just looking at the stats, particularly how much money I was saving, was a massive incentive.

Spray it on the front of your tongue or under it. Don’t spray near the back of your throat. If you do, you may be like me and get hiccups - sometimes hilarious but also very annoying!!

Finally, please don’t listen to the people on here who say that you get addicted to it. That’s more about them than the product. I was worried that would happen to me but it didn’t. Quickmist saved me in many ways but I wanted to quit. If you actually want to quit, regardless of how you do it, that is half the battle.

It will be 6 months in 2 days since I quit. Here are my stats:

5421 cigarettes avoided $7950 saved 22 days won back

I can breathe again. Swelling in my legs have gone down thanks to improved circulation. No pains in my chest as I was a walking advertisement for a heart attack. And best of all, the money I am saving is ridiculous!

You can do it!!!

Thanks for your reply. I too haven’t had a cigarette for 6 months using patches and spray. Weaned off the patches 3 months ago but still seem to be heavily reliant on the spray. Perhaps that’s psychological after reading all the “addiction” posts but am truly finding it hard to stop using it every half to one hour and just want to be totally nicotine free.

Hi Annie and Chris, This is great news that the smokes are gone. That is, and always should be the determining factor. At 6 months, you have the battle on track. I was a 46 year smoker, fortunately weaned myself down to 10 - 15 per day until I stopped at the beginning of the year. I still do the quick mist everyday, but I'm amazed to say I have not smoked for 9 months now. Don't allow other peoples reviews and set backs and complaints take you off the rails. Use the fight to extend the time between sprays as another challenge. It'll work. After all, you have done one of the hardest things in your life already by not smoking.!!! Everything else will come in time. I used to smoke so much on the golf course, now I go the whole 4 or 5 hours without even a spray while my buddies go through a pack in that time. Its a win for me and you as well!! Extend the time between sprays and you'll be on your way.

Hard to completely avoid swallowing some when you spray, but if you have issues spray it on your finger and rub it into the inside of your cheek.

Think too much nicotine at one time makes you hiccup

Hi there, yeah I got that as well usually if I had too much to soon. Think if you reduce the intake that will help. I have now stopped using the product, 3 weeks now and glad to have it in the rear view mirror. Good luck with the process and be careful with this stuff, it is a cleverly designed nicotine delivery device and super addictive. It should be by prescription only in my opinion, it works but it is very easy to get addicted to.

How did you stop using quickmist?

Do you mean your skin? I'm sure it's made my skin age pretty fast.

Yes my skin or hollowness around the eyes

Yes! I’ve been hopelessly addicted to Nicorette Quickmist for several years. If I try to stop it becomes a serious mental health problem. I get sooo angry it scares me, and I cry all the time and am so tired. After a week or two of absolutely hating my life and everyone in it, I go buy another pack because I’m a nicer person on it. They need rehab centres to help people get off this evil stuff! Anyway, in the past month my very long curly hair has been falling out in handfuls. I went to the doctor about it last week and she did blood tests to check my thyroid but results were all fine. Now I’m reading that lots of people have hair loss on NRT as it restricts blood vessels. I’m going to lock myself in a padded room and try and quit again as there’s no way I’m ingesting any more of this poison!

Yes they made the amount in each unit much less about a year ago. One pack used to last me a whole week, now it’s about 5 days. I guess they realized that if it was more expensive than a pack of cigs us addicts would just go buy cigarettes! Chemist Warehouse has triple packs for $50 and I’ve been ordering 3 of them at a time and re-order when I’m down to my last 2 as all hell breaks lose if I run out. It’s the worst addiction ever! I feel like a total crack addict if I try to stop, I become horrible! But lately my hair has started falling out and I’m reading lots of other stories about others in the same boat so I’m going to try again even though I get very suicidal when I’m without the Quickmist. This product is a mental health liability! My advice for anyone considering it? DON’T! It costs a fortune, it totally enslaves you, and it makes your hair fall out!

Has anyone else found it ageing? My skin looks horrible. Im guessing it does because it constricts blood vessels.

Have addicted for over 18 months but no ciggs

Yes, in my experience it does register. However it’s not enough to be over the limit.

Lock yourself in a padded room for at least a month... truly I think that’s the only way! Withdrawal is 1000 times worse than it ever was quitting cigarettes! I’ve tried repeatedly to get off Quickmist and it’s utter torture! I’m just about to try again as it has caused my hair to start falling out. Good luck quitting and if you come up with a way to get through it can you let me know too please?

Was considering using this product, now thankyou to everyone who left their experience heard. Was looking for a softer easier way but now I plan to keep it simple patches & nothing. Thank God I read these post

Considering everyone has had the same complaint and it is not being addressed by the company, then yes :( I try and minimise the burn by spraying on the inside of the cheek. Avoid inhaling through the mouth at the same time for the next 1 minute.

Ok thankyou

yes I agree, Ive had the same thoughts...I read the other day that Johnson and Johnson the brand that makes it also makes listerine mouth wash and it said that leads to mouth cancer

Lol cause smoking cigarettes won't give you cancer

Use patches and gum

Fresh mint? Ok, its more like acid burn. I bought this and the first spray I tried omfg, my mouth was burning worse than I have ever felt! I'm assuming this is how it works to quit smoking because quite frankly, the only thing I put in my mouth after was ice cold wash towels.

I have not experienced this

Hi Mandy I don't know as shortness of breath is part of my life now as I have COPD but giving up the cigarette and using QuickMist has helped a lot iv asked my DR is using QM ok and he's says yes if it stops me smoking then that's fine.

Sorry I couldn't give you the answer to your question but I hope what iv said helps.

Best Wishes. Pauline

Not something I have experienced.I also COPD and since I have been using Quickmist there has been a slight improvement in my lung function results from %55 to %58.It is causing continual headaches and severe nasal conjestion.Which has a negative impact on my sleep apena
