Available by prescription, nicotine nasal spray is generally used from eight to 12 weeks and shouldn't be used by those suffering from allergies, asthma, or sinus conditions, which, unfortunately, many smokers already have.
Those medications are bupropion SR, nicotine gum, nicotine inhaler, nicotine lozenge, nicotine nasal spray, nicotine patch, and varenicline (Chantix).
Some of the most used quit smoking medications are the nicotine patch, the nicotine gum, the nicotine pill, the nicotine nasal spray and the nicotine inhaler.
