Nicorette Inhalator 15mg 20 Pack

Is Nicorette Inhalator 15mg Right for You?

Quitting smoking is one of the most significant things you can do for your health — and you don't have to do it alone. The Nicorette Inhalator 15mg is a clinically proven nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) that mimics the hand-to-mouth action of smoking, making it easier to manage both the physical cravings and the habitual side of cigarette dependence. According to the NHS, using NRT can almost double your chances of quitting successfully compared to willpower alone. If you're looking for a stop-smoking aid that feels familiar and fits naturally into your routine, this could be a genuinely useful option. You can explore the full range of stop-smoking products in our smoking collection.

Each pack contains 20 cartridges, each delivering up to 15mg of nicotine through inhalation. The device is discreet, easy to carry, and doesn't require a prescription — you can order it directly from Cured Pharmacy and have it delivered to your door.

How Does the Nicorette Inhalator Work?

The inhalator works by releasing nicotine vapour when you puff on the mouthpiece. Unlike cigarettes, it contains no tobacco and produces no smoke — just nicotine, which is absorbed through the lining of your mouth and throat. This helps to ease withdrawal symptoms such as irritability, difficulty concentrating, and intense cravings.

• Insert a nicotine cartridge into the plastic mouthpiece
• Puff on the device whenever you feel the urge to smoke
• Nicotine is absorbed via the oral mucosa, not the lungs
• The hand-to-mouth action helps address the behavioural habit of smoking
• Gradually reduce use over your treatment period to wean off nicotine dependence

Who Should Consider Using This Inhalator?

This product is designed for adults aged 18 and over who currently smoke and want to quit. It's particularly well suited to people who find the physical ritual of smoking — holding a cigarette, bringing it to their mouth — hard to give up alongside the nicotine itself. It may also suit those who have tried patches or gum without success.

• Adults who smoke 10 or more cigarettes per day
• People who struggle with the behavioural habit of smoking, not just the nicotine
• Those who prefer an inhalation-based NRT over patches or gum
• Smokers looking for a discreet, portable quit-smoking aid

How Does the Nicorette Inhalator Compare to Other NRT Options?

Is the Nicorette Inhalator Safe to Store and Use Long-Term?

The Nicorette Inhalator 15mg should be stored below 25°C, away from direct sunlight and out of reach of children. Cartridges should not be used once the pack has been opened for more than 12 months. If you're managing other health conditions alongside your quit attempt — for example, if you're also monitoring blood glucose levels and browsing our diabetes monitoring range — it's worth speaking to your pharmacist before starting NRT, as nicotine can affect insulin sensitivity.

Long-term use beyond six months should only continue under the guidance of a healthcare professional. The goal is always to reduce your nicotine intake progressively until you no longer need the inhalator at all.

This product is a medicine. Speak to your doctor or pharmacist before using if you have an underlying medical condition or are taking other medicines.

What Is the Nicorette Inhalator and What Is It Used For?

The Nicorette Inhalator 15mg is a nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) product used to help adults stop smoking. It is indicated for the relief of nicotine withdrawal symptoms — including cravings, irritability, anxiety, and difficulty concentrating — that occur when you stop or reduce cigarette use. The NHS recommends NRT as a first-line treatment for smoking cessation, and the inhalator is one of several licensed NRT formats available in the UK. It is available over the counter without a prescription.

What Do You Need to Know Before Using the Nicorette Inhalator?

Before using this product, read the following contraindications and warnings carefully. If any of these apply to you, speak to your GP or pharmacist before starting treatment.

• Do not use if you are a non-smoker
• Do not use if you are under 12 years of age
• Use with caution if you have cardiovascular disease, including recent heart attack or stroke
• Use with caution if you have severe kidney or liver impairment
• Seek medical advice before use if you are pregnant or breastfeeding — the NHS advises that NRT is preferable to continued smoking, but medical supervision is recommended
• Not recommended for people with hypersensitivity to nicotine or any component of the product
• Use with caution in people with uncontrolled hyperthyroidism or phaeochromocytoma

There are no clinically significant drug interactions at therapeutic doses. However, stopping smoking itself — with or without NRT — can affect the metabolism of certain medicines, including theophylline, clozapine, and warfarin. If you take any of these, inform your prescriber when you begin your quit attempt.

• Theophylline — plasma levels may rise when smoking stops
• Clozapine — dose adjustment may be needed
• Warfarin — INR monitoring may be required

How Should You Use the Nicorette Inhalator?

The inhalator is designed to be used whenever you feel the urge to smoke. Follow these steps carefully to get the most from your treatment.

1. Remove the mouthpiece from its case and pull apart the two halves
2. Insert a new nicotine cartridge into the lower half of the mouthpiece
3. Push the two halves firmly back together until you hear a click
4. Puff on the mouthpiece as you would a cigarette — short, frequent puffs work best
5. Use the inhalator for approximately 20 minutes of intense puffing per cartridge
6. When the cartridge is spent, discard it safely and replace with a new one as needed
7. Gradually reduce the number of cartridges used each day over your treatment period
