The Story
What Is Nicorette QuickMist Cool Berry Mouthspray?
Quitting smoking is one of the most important things you can do for your health — and having the right support makes a real difference. The Nicorette QuickMist Cool Berry mouthspray is a fast-acting nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) that delivers 1mg of nicotine per spray directly to the lining of your mouth. It's designed to tackle cravings quickly, wherever you are, without the need for patches or gum. If you're looking for a discreet, convenient way to manage nicotine withdrawal, this duo pack gives you two bottles so you're never caught short. You can browse our full range of stop smoking products if you'd like to compare your options.
Each spray delivers a measured 1mg dose of nicotine oromucosally — meaning it's absorbed through the mouth lining rather than swallowed. The cool berry flavour makes it a more pleasant experience than some other NRT formats, which can matter when you're already dealing with the challenge of cutting out cigarettes. The duo pack contains two 150-spray bottles, giving you up to 300 sprays in total.
How Does Nicorette QuickMist Mouthspray Work?
Nicotine replacement therapy works by supplying your body with a controlled amount of nicotine — enough to ease withdrawal symptoms and cravings, but without the tar, carbon monoxide, and thousands of other harmful chemicals produced by burning tobacco. The QuickMist spray is particularly effective because of how quickly it acts.
- You spray directly into the mouth, targeting the inner cheek or under the tongue.
- Nicotine is absorbed rapidly through the oral mucosa (the lining of the mouth) into the bloodstream.
- This fast absorption mimics the speed at which nicotine from a cigarette reaches the brain — helping to blunt the craving almost immediately.
- Over time, you gradually reduce the number of sprays, weaning your body off nicotine dependence altogether.
The mechanism is straightforward: nicotine binds to nicotinic acetylcholine receptors in the brain, reducing the dopamine dip that triggers cravings. By managing that dip without smoking, you break the behavioural habit while your body adjusts.
Who Should Use Nicorette QuickMist Mouthspray?
This product is suitable for adults aged 18 and over who currently smoke and want to quit or cut down. It's particularly well-suited to people who:
- Find patches or gum uncomfortable or inconvenient
- Need fast relief from sudden, intense cravings
- Smoke in situations where lighting up isn't possible (e.g. at work, on public transport)
- Are using a combination NRT approach alongside a patch for background nicotine coverage
It is not suitable for non-smokers, people under 18, or those who have never smoked. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, speak to your GP or midwife before starting any NRT — though the NHS does note that NRT is generally considered safer than continuing to smoke during pregnancy.
How Does Nicorette QuickMist Compare to Other NRT Formats?
| Feature | Nicorette QuickMist Mouthspray | Nicotine Patch |
|---|---|---|
| Speed of action | Very fast (within minutes) | Slow (steady background release) |
| Discreet use | Yes — pocket-sized spray | Yes — worn under clothing |
| Suitable for sudden cravings | Yes | No |
| Flavour options | Yes (Cool Berry, Fresh Mint) | No |
How Should You Store Nicorette QuickMist Mouthspray?
Store the Nicorette QuickMist Cool Berry mouthspray below 25°C, away from direct sunlight and sources of heat. Keep both bottles out of reach and sight of children at all times — nicotine is toxic in large quantities, particularly for young children. Do not freeze the product, and check the expiry date printed on the bottle before use. If you're managing other health products at home, you might also find our vitamins and supplements range useful for supporting your overall wellbeing during your quit journey.
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 Nicorette QuickMist Cool Berry and What Is It Used For?
Nicorette QuickMist Cool Berry 1mg Mouthspray is a nicotine replacement therapy used to help adults stop smoking or reduce the number of cigarettes they smoke. It is also used to manage nicotine cravings in situations where smoking is not permitted. The spray can be used as part of a structured quit programme or alongside other NRT products such as patches. According to the NHS, using NRT can significantly improve your chances of quitting successfully compared to willpower alone.
What Do You Need to Know Before Using Nicorette QuickMist Mouthspray?
Before using this product, read the following carefully. Do not use Nicorette QuickMist if any of the following apply to you:
- You are under 18 years of age
- You are a non-smoker
- You have a known allergy to nicotine or any other ingredient in the spray
- You have recently had a heart attack, stroke, or serious heart rhythm disorder — seek medical advice first
- You have severe liver or kidney disease
- You have a rare inherited condition called phenylketonuria (PKU) — check the ingredients list
Use with caution and speak to your pharmacist or GP if you have:
- Diabetes — monitor blood glucose more closely when starting NRT
- Uncontrolled hyperthyroidism or phaeochromocytoma
- Gastritis, peptic ulcers, or oesophagitis
- Cardiovascular disease (stable angina, peripheral vascular disease)
Drug interactions: There are no clinically significant interactions at standard OTC doses. However, nicotine may interact with:
- Adenosine — nicotine can affect its cardiovascular effects
- Theophylline, clozapine, and ropinirole — stopping smoking (not the NRT itself) may increase blood levels of these medicines
Always tell your pharmacist about all medicines you are taking, including herbal remedies and supplements. If you're also managing other conditions, our pain relief range may be relevant if you experience headaches during nicotine withdrawal.
How Should You Use Nicorette QuickMist Mouthspray?
Use the spray whenever you feel the urge to smoke. Follow these steps carefully:
- Hold the bottle upright with your index finger on the top of the dispenser.
- Open your mouth and hold the spray close to it — do not inhale while spraying.
- Press the dispenser firmly and direct the spray onto the inside of your cheek or under your tongue.
- Do not swallow for a few seconds after spraying to allow absorption through the mouth lining.
- If one spray does not relieve the craving within a few minutes, use a second spray.
- Do not use more than 2 sprays per craving episode, more than 4 sprays per hour, or more than 64 sprays in 24 hours.
| Indication | Age Group | Dose | Frequency |
|---|---|---|---|
| Smoking cessation / craving relief | Adults 18+ | 1–2 sprays (1–2mg nicotine) | Up to 4 sprays/hour; max 64 sprays/24 hours |
| Temporary abstinence (e.g. smoke-free zones) | Adults 18+ | 1–2 sprays as needed | As required, within daily maximum |
| Under 18 years | Not applicable | Not recommended | Not recommended |

How does Nicorette QuickMist mouthspray work in the body?
Each spray delivers 1mg of nicotine directly to the lining of your mouth, where it is rapidly absorbed into the bloodstream. This mimics the speed of nicotine delivery from a cigarette, helping to reduce cravings and withdrawal symptoms quickly. Over time, you reduce the number of sprays to wean your body off nicotine dependence.
How do I use Nicorette QuickMist mouthspray step by step?
Hold the bottle upright, open your mouth, and direct the nozzle towards the inside of your cheek — avoid spraying onto your lips. Press the dispenser firmly to release one spray, then avoid swallowing for a few seconds to allow the nicotine to absorb. If one spray doesn't ease the craving within a couple of minutes, you can use a second spray.
What is the correct dose of Nicorette QuickMist 1mg mouthspray?
The recommended dose is 1 to 2 sprays when you feel the urge to smoke, with a maximum of 4 sprays in any one hour. You should not exceed 64 sprays in a 24-hour period. If you find you consistently need the maximum dose, speak to your pharmacist about your quit plan.
When is the best time to use Nicorette QuickMist mouthspray?
Use the spray as soon as you feel a craving coming on — the faster you respond, the more effectively it can blunt the urge before it peaks. It's also useful in situations where you know you'd normally smoke, such as after meals, during a work break, or when you're stressed. Having the spray to hand at all times means you're always prepared.
What are the side effects of Nicorette QuickMist mouthspray?
Common side effects include hiccups, nausea, throat irritation, headache, and dizziness — most of which are related to nicotine itself rather than the spray format. Less commonly, you might notice palpitations, dry mouth, or indigestion. These effects usually settle as your body adjusts, but contact your pharmacist if they persist or concern you.
Who is eligible to use Nicorette QuickMist mouthspray?
It is suitable for adults aged 18 and over who currently smoke and want to quit or reduce their cigarette intake. It is not suitable for non-smokers, people under 18, or those with a known allergy to nicotine or any ingredient in the product. If you have a heart condition, diabetes, or are pregnant, speak to your GP or pharmacist before starting.
Can I use Nicorette QuickMist mouthspray if I am pregnant?
The NHS advises that stopping smoking is one of the best things you can do for your baby's health, and NRT is generally considered safer than continuing to smoke during pregnancy. However, you should speak to your GP or midwife before using any NRT product while pregnant or breastfeeding. They can help you choose the most appropriate option for your situation.
What happens if I use too much Nicorette QuickMist mouthspray?
Using more than the recommended dose can cause symptoms of nicotine overdose, including nausea, vomiting, dizziness, sweating, and a rapid or irregular heartbeat. If you think you or someone else has used too much, contact NHS 111 or go to your nearest A&E immediately. Keep the product out of reach of children, as even small amounts of nicotine can be harmful to them.
What are the alternatives to Nicorette QuickMist mouthspray?
Other NRT formats include nicotine patches, gum, lozenges, inhalators, and nasal sprays — each with different speeds of action and suitability depending on your lifestyle. Some people use a combination approach, such as a patch for background nicotine coverage and a fast-acting product like the QuickMist for sudden cravings. A pharmacist can help you decide which combination works best for you.
How long should you use Nicorette QuickMist mouthspray for?
The recommended treatment period is up to 12 weeks, during which you gradually reduce the number of sprays you use each day. If you still feel you need the spray after 9 months of use, it's worth speaking to your GP or pharmacist for further support. Most people find that combining NRT with behavioural support significantly improves their chances of quitting for good.
Can I use Nicorette QuickMist mouthspray alongside a nicotine patch?
Yes — combination NRT, using a patch for steady background nicotine alongside a fast-acting product like the QuickMist for breakthrough cravings, is a recognised and effective approach. The NHS supports combination NRT as it can be more effective than using a single product alone. Always stay within the total recommended daily nicotine limits across all products used.
Does Nicorette QuickMist mouthspray interact with any medicines?
There are no clinically significant drug interactions at standard OTC doses. However, quitting smoking itself (rather than the NRT) can affect blood levels of certain medicines including theophylline, clozapine, and ropinirole, so your GP may need to monitor these. Always inform your pharmacist of all medicines you are taking before starting any new product.
What is the latest research on nicotine replacement therapy sprays?
Research consistently shows that NRT, including fast-acting formats like mouth sprays, increases quit rates compared to no treatment. The NHS and NICE both recommend NRT as a first-line treatment for smoking cessation in adults. Combination NRT approaches have been shown in clinical studies to be particularly effective for heavier smokers.
Is the Nicorette QuickMist Cool Berry duo pack good value for money?
The duo pack contains two 150-spray bottles — 300 sprays in total — making it a cost-effective option compared to buying two single bottles separately. At £24.29 from Cured Pharmacy, it works out significantly cheaper per spray than many convenience store alternatives. You can also explore our vitamins and supplements range to support your overall health as you quit smoking.
