Not recommended for former smokers or asthmatics:

Nicotine Free Club personal aromatherapy diffusers should be utilized according to the instructions.  We are cautious about recommending Nicotine Free Club Diffusers to former smokers, as we don’t know if the use of a device of this nature will increase the urge to return to smoking, and therefore we do not recommend that former smokers utilize our personal aromatherapy devices. Keep these devices out of the reach of children and pets. The small plastic top to the shipping tube can be a choking risk to them.

Our discussion regarding the scientific basis behind aromatherapy is for your information only.  It includes some theories, including those surrounding Forest Bathing and terpenes that, while interesting, have not been proven factually, and should be interpreted as such. 

Precautions

Essentially all substances, salt and water included, are dangerous, at inappropriate concentrations. The same can be said of the various aromatherapy constituents found within Nicotine Free Club personal aromatherapy diffusers, as well as our bottled blends, roll-ons and bath soaks.  True allergies can occur with Nicotine Free Club, and could lead to meaningful health-related issues. That being said, the overwhelming majority of issues listed below are dose-dependent, and are not likely to be problematic in the extremely low dosages found within Nicotine Free Club diffusers.

GENERAL PRECAUTIONS

For thousands of years, cultures worldwide have utilized aromatherapy. The risks of an allergic reaction, or other adverse reactions, are present with all essential oils, including those used by Nicotine Free Club. For a comprehensive review of essential oil safety, please consult the textbook by Robert Tisserand: Essential Oil Safety.

Interactions with Medications:

All essential oils should be properly diluted before use. Never ingest essential oils unless under the direction of a medical professional. In regards to pregnant/nursing women and small children, we advise not to use essential oils or products containing them on these populations. Some safety precautions for specific essential oils are based on ingestion or topical application, and also on exposure to extremely high volumes and/or concentrations. Nicotine Free Club recommends that any individual with health concerns or taking prescription medications check with their medical practitioners and refer to appropriate medical research literature for possible pharmacological interactions and contraindications, prior to using any essential oils, including those sold by Nicotine Free Club.

When using Nicotine Free Club Diffusers with the LED light-activated, you are taking in vapor or mist, not burned products. Within the mist are a variety of naturally occurring plant extracts from organically grown herbs, spices and other plants from which aromatherapy products have been produced for centuries, in addition to the heated vegetable glycerin which makes up 80% of the contents.  

Nicotine Free Club products are not to be inhaled into the lungs:

Just as with any new product we encourage you to use judgment and moderation. We do not recommend using Nicotine Free Club excessively, and in fact, a few very gentle uses, a few times a day, is our recommended usage level. Furthermore, there is no need to inhale at all. In face we strongly discourage inhalation into the lungs as it is unnecessary, and lowers the experience of Nicotine Free Club. 

Please note that while each of the main ingredients in Nicotine Free Club devices has been shown to have certain independent effects when used alone, the final product containing all the ingredients has not been tested, and no specific claims are made for the combination of ingredients in any individual Nicotine Free Club Diffuser. Furthermore, many of the specific plants and many of the specific terpenes which have been studied by independent researchers and subsequently referenced in the various articles on this website are not included in any of the current Nicotine Free Club blends.  The references to the scientific literature are intended to provide background information on the subject of plant-based and terpene-based wellness benefits only, and no specific health claim regarding any Nicotine Free Club blend should be inferred.

While many of the organic ingredients in our whole plant extracts have been used for thousands of years both in aromatherapy as well as in other forms of medicine, and their safety and health benefits with those uses have been well documented, breathing through a heated portable diffuser is very recent, and there are always risks with new methods of use. In addition, the effects of many compounds are altered when blended in various combinations, and the specific blends of Nicotine Free Club essential oil blends have not been specifically tested. Please note, the International Federation of Aromatherapists does not recommend taking Essential Oils internally, such as swallowing them, but only inhaling them.

The main ingredient in Nicotine Free Club personal aromatherapy diffusers is certified organic coconut-derived vegetable glycerin.  Vegetable Glycerin (VG) is vaporized by millions of people daily.  Whole-plant extracts have been utilized for thousands of years as aromatherapy constituents, and have been very well studied. The inhalation of heated essential oils has been done for centuries, such as by adding them to boiling water over a fire.  However, they have not been heated and utilized using an electronic device until approximately 20 years ago, and thus there is no long-term experience with essential oils used in this manner. Again, we recommend using the AirTip method in which instance the heated mist is cooled to the ambient temperature before it is experienced.

It is believed that extended breathing of concentrated essential oils can be deleterious to your health. Please note that Nicotine Free Club personal aromatherapy diffusers do not contain concentrated essential oils, but rather diluted essential oils, and inhalation is not the proper method of use. If you are concerned about this, don’t use Nicotine Free Club personal aromatherapy diffusers.

People with known upper respiratory illnesses or weaknesses, such as asthma or COPD, should not use Nicotine Free Club personal aromatherapy diffusers.

Side Effects of Nicotine Free Club Therapeutic Air Diffusers

We would appreciate being notified of any adverse event that occurs to you so we can document them here.  Note that the most frequent side effects are a dry mouth, loose stools, and mild irritation of the throat or eyes.

Dry mouth is usually a result of inhaling the mist of the vegetable glycerin base.  This is a common occurrence when vegetable glycerin is heated. Many users find that this feeling of a dry mouth recedes on its own after a relatively short period of time, frequently measuring days or a couple of weeks.  For others, they find that drinking more water can be very effective. If this is disturbing to you, you should discontinue the use of any Nicotine Free Club diffuser. Note that we offer a 30-day unconditional money-back guarantee, and if you are dissatisfied, for any reason, please contact us for a refund.

Some upper respiratory irritation may be due to allergies.  If you develop any upper respiratory irritation, you should discontinue using Nicotine Free Club products immediately.  Please note that as the liquid in the device is used up, the blend may begin to taste bitter or, even stale.  This is an indication that the useful life of the product is over and that you should discontinue using that specific diffuser. Nicotine Free Club original diffusers devices are not refillable.

Vegetable Glycerin has frequently been used as a suppository to prevent constipation.  You may find that you have a looser stool than usual when first starting with Nicotine Free Club products or you may find a bit of nausea or an upset stomach.  In most instances this, like dry mouth, is transitory. While Nicotine Free Club has not been notified that our products have caused all of these potential effects, other reported adverse effects from vegetable glycerin are aches, wheezing, swelling of the tongue and gastroenteritis.  Again, should you experience any of these issues, you should discontinue using Nicotine Free Club products immediately, and seek medical attention should the severity of your condition warrant it.

Liability and Damages

Physical devices similar to those from which our mist is produced have been known to heat up excessively and/or explode and can cause damage if this happens. The physical device can be dangerous if swallowed, inserted into any body cavity and should not be permitted to be around children. The cap to the shipping/storage tube is small and can be a choking hazard. Nicotine Free Club cannot be held liable for any injuries or damages that occur from any such event, including from the inhalation of the mist/vapors produced by Nicotine Free Club diffusers. Again, we strongly encourage avoiding inhalation from our personal aromatherapy diffusers, and also encourage the use of the AirTip.
