How to Use NICORETTE® QuickMist Spray
1. Push the black button down until you can push it lightly inwards.
2. While pushing the button in, slide upwards and continue until the top of the dispenser locks into place.
3. 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.
4. 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. The nicotine will pass rapidly into your body through the lining of your mouth, relieving your craving to smoke without giving you the “buzz” of smoking a cigarette.
5. To close the dispenser, slide the button down until it can be pushed lightly inwards. Then, while pushing in, slide down to lock.
If your cravings do not disappear with one spray within a few minutes, use a second one.

If you get any of these symptoms, contact a doctor or your nearest emergency department as soon as you can.
NICORETTE® QuickMist Spray is to be used at a maximum dosage of 2 sprays at a time, 3 sprays per hour and 48 sprays per day.
