Can nicotine inhalers help you to quit smoking? Yes and no. They are something that you should try if you are still smoking cigarettes and think that they might help.
One thing that I want to point out is that you should always be pushing yourself to take action in trying to quit. If you are hesitating to wonder whether or not something will work, or if there is a better alternative, then you have the wrong attitude about this. You need to take immediate action and you need to keep taking action until you successfully quit. Your smoking is costing you a fortune, in more ways than one. You can and should do anything you can in order to try and quit.
If you think the inhaler will help, try the inhaler. If it fails for you, move on to something else and try that. Try cold turkey. Try taking a vacation. Try the patch, try the medications, try hypnosis.
Whatever you do, don’t just smoke. Do not allow yourself to just smoke. That is the worst thing you could possibly do.
So by all means, give the nicotine inhaler a try. It is worth the effort. If you try it out and you successfully quit smoking, and you end up never taking another puff, then how much was that experiment worth to you? A thousand dollars? Not even close. Try several hundred thousand dollars worth of future medical bills and probably several years worth of your life. How much can you purchase one year of your life for? You can’t. It has infinite value. When you die, you can’t cash in some of your left over money and buy some more life. Every extra day is precious. And if you continue to smoke cigarettes instead of quitting, then you are removing an average of 7 to 10 years from the end of your life. If you quit now you can reverse that, sometimes fully in some cases.
So yeah, the point is not “should I try the nicotine inhaler or should I try the quit smoking patches?” The point is, try them all. Use anything and everything at your disposal in order to quit smoking. Do not try something out and fail at it and say “oh well, guess I was just meant to smoke.” That is signing your own death warrant. The only reasonable course of action is to push yourself to try new techniques to quit until you find something that works for you.
