Help to quit smoking can be best obtained by helping yourself by firm determination to quit smoking and help from family and friends. Also practicing some simple techniques and taking certain medications can help quit smoking. The first thing to do is to tell your mind that you are determined to quit smoking. Make a firm decision in your mind. Even if you have failed in past, try again. Talk a lot to oneself. Think about the benefits about quitting smoking and the evils of smoking. Say this to your mind "One cigarette takes away 4 precious minutes of my life." Their are several medications available for quitting smoking habit. The US Food and Drug Administration has approved the following medications. However any medication should be taken only after it is prescribed by a qualified physician. The medications are - Bupropion SR.Nicotine gumNicotine inhalerNicotine nasal sprayNicotine patchNicotine lozenge Out of the above, the Nicotine gum and the patch are available over the counter. Others are available by prescription only. But its good to consult a physician before taking it. In this article I'm going to talk about nicotine inhalers. Nicotine InhalerNicotine inhaler, also called Puffer, is a methodology where nicotine is directly mixed with the blood stream. It is a plastic cartridge that contains porous nicotine plug in its base. By inhaling, the vapors of nicotine enter through the mouth lining. Nicotine is inhaled through the nasal passage. The dosage of spray should be as prescribed by the doctor. Its usage too should gradually come down with the passing days. 80 odd puffs of the Inhaler are usually equivalent to the nicotine content in a single cigarette. In winter, more puffs are required as the content of nicotine per puff is reduced. Similarly, less number of puffs are required in summer. Nasal spray too can cause running nose, headache or dizziness. The most common side effect is the irritation in mouth. You should keep your doctor informed about your progress. Never take an overdose of the inhaler as it can lead to serious breathing or chest problems.
