Nicotine AL Spray for smoking cessation Nicotine AL can be used to treat tobacco addiction. Smoking causes significant damage to almost all organs, especially the lungs and heart. Up to 90 percent of all lung cancer cases are caused by the consumption of tobacco products. Smokers also have at least twice the risk of cardiovascular disease and stroke compared to non-smokers. The risk of dementia and various mental illnesses is also significantly higher. Nicotine AL Spray and the effects of nicotine on the body How does nicotine work? It binds to the tar particles in the smoke and enters the lungs when inhaled. The nicotine is then absorbed into the bloodstream via the mucous membranes of the respiratory tract and reaches the brain within seconds. There, it influences the activity of certain nerve cells. This results in the release of specific neurotransmitters that have a stimulating effect, induce a feeling of well-being, increase blood pressure, or accelerate the heart rate. Instructions for use of Nicotine AL Spray It is recommended not to use the spray regularly for longer than 6 months. Do not use more than 2 sprays consecutively or 4 sprays per hour over a 16-hour period. Over a 24-hour period, the maximum dose is 64 sprays within any 16-hour period.
