The best effect is achieved by frequent, continuous puffing for 20 minutes. This is the equivalent of about 2 cigarettes. Also, the potential for abuse is no greater than with nicotine gum, since the effects on the user are generally the same. Manufacturers recommend against using the inhaler for longer than 6 months. Symptoms usually diminish with regular use.
Some people experience upset stomachs with use of the inhaler.
