How does the Nicorette Inhaler work?
Firstly, let us describe the appearance of the inhaler so you know what we are dealing with. The Nicorette Inhaler consists of a plastic outer tube, or mouthpiece, and a nicotine plug, or cartridge, which is loaded inside. The nicotine cartridge is packaged in a transparent tube sealed at the ends by aluminium foil. You can get refill cartridges for the inhaler separately so you do not have to buy a new plastic mouthpiece each time. The inhaler mouthpiece comes in two parts. These are separated and a nicotine cartridge is inserted in the middle. The mouthpiece is reassembled taking care to align the two marks on the outside of the mouthpiece together. This breaks the aluminium seal on both ends of the nicotine cartridge. The inhaler is now ready to use and the cartridge should be used within the next twelve hours or so. To seal the mouthpiece of the Nicorette Inhaler in between use you need to turn the two pieces of the inhaler in opposite directions so that they are no longer aligned.
