Comes in:
Push the black button down until you can push it lightly inwards.
While pushing the button in, slide upwards and continue until the top of the dispenser locks into place.
Before using for the first time, prime the pump by pressing the top firmly into a tissue until a fine mist appears. If you don’t use the spray for a couple of days, you may need to repeat this step.
Press the top of the dispenser firmly to release one spray into your mouth either under your tongue or on the inside of your cheek, avoiding your lips. For best results, wait a few seconds before swallowing. Do not inhale the spray – it shouldn’t spray into your throat.
To close the dispenser, slide the button down until it can be pushed lightly inwards. Then, while pushing in, slide down to lock.
Ready to quit smoking? Use the spray whenever you feel the urge to smoke to help you quit for good. Over time, you’ll need to use the nicotine spray less in order to control your cravings and withdrawal symptoms.
If your cravings do not disappear with one spray, use a second one.
Use this chart as a guide:
Stopping Immediately
Week 1-6 | Use 1-2 sprays when you would normally smoke a cigarette or have cravings to smoke (1-2 sprays every 30 minutes to 1 hour). Do not use more than 4 sprays/hour for 16 hours or 64 sprays/day. |
Week 7-9 | Start reducing the number of sprays per day. |
Week 10 to 12 | Gradually reduce to 2-4 sprays per day and then stop use. |
Cutting Down
Gradually increase mouth spray use (do not use more than 4 sprays per hour for 16 hours, or 64 sprays per day) and reduce smoking with the aim of stopping by 6 months. If you have not cut down at 6 weeks or stopped at 9 months, see your doctor or pharmacist. |
Dual Support
If you have relapsed with a single nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) or if you have cravings with a single use NRT, you could try the Dual Support method. Use NICORETTE® nicotine mouth spray in addition to NICORETTE® 16hr INVISIPATCH®, for better craving relief. Use the NICORETTE® 16hr INVISIPATCH® as directed for all day craving relief and use 1-2 sprays of NICORETTE®QuickMist to relieve breakthrough cravings (do not use more than 2 sprays per hour for 16 hours, or 32 sprays per day). After 12 weeks reduce use of nicotine patch or mouth spray. |
NICORETTE® QuickMist should be primed/loaded properly to be used effectively. Prime the spray pump if you are using the product for the first time or if you have not used it for 2 days. To do this, point the spray safely away from you and press firmly the top of the dispenser with your index finger several times until a fine spray appears.
Some people may experience hiccups after using QuickMist, but this is nothing to worry about. Hiccups are generally mild and do not affect continued use of the product. If the hiccups worsen, talk to your doctor, nurse or pharmacist for advice
When the spray is released into the mouth strong fresh mint sensation may be initially experienced, especially if you are using NICORETTE® QuickMist for the first time, but this is perfectly normal for oral NRT formats.
NICORETTE® QuickMist contains a very small amount of alcohol, less than 100mg per spray.
If you are unable to consume alcohol due to reasons such as religion, you should consult your Healthcare Professional for advice on which product to use. The NICORETTE® range contains a number of other flexible formats, such as NICORETTE® Gum, Inhalator, Nasal Spray and Freshmint Lozenge which may be more suitable.
Diabetics
NICORETTE® QuickMist can be used in diabetics. However, you should monitor your blood sugar levels more often when starting to use NICORETTE® QuickMist as you may find your insulin or medication requirements alter. Talk to your doctor, nurse or pharmacist for advice. NICORETTE® QuickMist is sugar free (does not contain sucrose) and contains sweeteners sucralose and acesulfame potassium (also known as acesulfame K).
Pregnancy/Breastfeeding
If you are pregnant or breastfeeding and you have tried to give up smoking without NRT but didn’t succeed, you may be able to use NRT formats that are taken intermittently including NICORETTE® QuickMist as a safer alternative to smoking. However, as medicines can affect your baby, you should always talk to your doctor, nurse or pharmacist for advice before taking NICORETTE®
QuickMist.
If breastfeeding, breast-feed just before you use NICORETTE® QuickMist to ensure that the baby gets the smallest amount of nicotine possible.
When quitting, NICORETTE® QuickMist has been shown to double a smoker’s chances of stopping smoking successfully compared to quitting with willpower alone. NICORETTE® QuickMist is spray for fast craving relief, providing relief up to 3 times faster than lozenges (every 2 sprays).

Each mouth spray contains at least 150 sprays (150 x 1 mg dose). The time that the dispenser lasts depends on the number of cigarettes the user used to smoke and how much additional craving relief is needed. For example, a smoker of 10 cigarettes a day should use 10 to 20 sprays per day, so one dispenser would last one to two weeks
NICORETTE® Quickmist 1 mg/spray is sugar free (no sucrose added). The formulation contains Sucralose and Acesulfame potassium (also known as Acesulfame K) as sweeteners.
NRT combination therapy (patch plus another formulation – gum, lozenge, oral spray, etc.) may be a therapy strategy for smoking cessation that a health professional can advise to the heavily dependent smoker and/or those who have previously failed to quit with NRT. For further advice, please consult your local GP, pharmacist or smoking cessation clinic.
