Where to Find Nicotine Inhalers and Lozenges in Keelung? - Smoking Cessation

Share to:

I'm sorry, but I need specific content to translate. Please


I have been smoke-free for about two months now, but I still occasionally have cravings for cigarettes.
Could you please let me know which hospitals in the Keelung area offer nicotine inhalers or lozenges? Since I have been trying to quit smoking for about two months, I would like to use a nicotine inhaler to alleviate my cravings without relying on patches.
However, most clinics only provide patches and do not have nicotine inhalers, and chewing nicotine gum is too tiring for me.
Purchasing them on my own is also too expensive.
Thank you.

More Info


If you're looking for nicotine inhalers and lozenges in Keelung, there are several avenues you can explore. Nicotine replacement therapies (NRTs) like inhalers and lozenges are effective tools for managing cravings and withdrawal symptoms during smoking cessation. Here are some suggestions on where to find these products in your area:
1. Local Pharmacies: Start by visiting major pharmacies in Keelung. Chains like Watsons, Cosmed, or local independent pharmacies often carry a variety of nicotine replacement products. It's a good idea to call ahead to check if they have nicotine inhalers or lozenges in stock.

2. Hospitals and Clinics: Some hospitals and clinics may have smoking cessation programs that include access to nicotine replacement therapies. You can inquire at hospitals like Keelung Chang Gung Memorial Hospital or Keelung Municipal Hospital. They may have a pharmacy that stocks these products or can refer you to a program that does.

3. Health Departments: The local health department may offer resources for smoking cessation, including access to nicotine replacement therapies. They might also have information on community programs that provide these products at a reduced cost or even for free.

4. Online Pharmacies: If local options are limited, consider looking at reputable online pharmacies. Many online retailers offer nicotine inhalers and lozenges, often at competitive prices. Just ensure that the pharmacy is licensed and follows regulations to ensure safety and authenticity.

5. Support Groups and Programs: Look for local support groups or smoking cessation programs. Organizations like the American Lung Association or local health initiatives often provide resources and may have partnerships with pharmacies to offer NRTs at a lower cost.

6. Consult Your Doctor: If you're still having difficulty finding these products, consult your healthcare provider. They may have samples or can prescribe a specific NRT that can be obtained through a pharmacy.

In addition to these options, it's important to remember that managing cravings is a common part of the quitting process. While nicotine inhalers and lozenges can help, consider incorporating other strategies as well, such as behavioral therapy, support groups, or even mindfulness techniques to help cope with cravings.

Quitting smoking is a significant achievement, and it's great that you've already been smoke-free for two months. Keep in mind that cravings can diminish over time, and finding the right support and tools can make the process easier. If you have any further questions or need assistance, don't hesitate to reach out to healthcare professionals who specialize in smoking cessation. They can provide tailored advice and support to help you stay on track with your goal of quitting smoking.
