They work, but there's a catch!

These new mini lozenges come in 2 and 4 mg strengths, and are an improvement over the larger Commit-type nicotine lozenges that come in brand and generic form. However, as most people who have been using nicotine lozenges 'successfully' for any amount of time can tell you, the lozenges THEMSELVES are ADDICTIVE and can be very hard to quit because of the powerful oral gratification that they deliver. Do a Google search for Lozenges Addiction - just those two words, and you will see first-hand accounts that ex-smokers have posted here and there online, explaining how they continued to use the lozenges for YEARS after they quit smoking, well beyond the time window when they were supposed to have stopped using them. Dental problems abound because, although they are sugar free, the inactive ingredients in them change mouth pH. And the sweeteners used can have addictive properties themselves.

On a more positive note, these new mini-lozenges are an improvement because there are more places in your mouth that you can put one. I imagine they will also be a hit for people trying to quit chewing tobacco because they tuck very nicely in the same places - for example, under the upper lip. Tingly goodness, without the risk of cancer (one would hope)!

These work, for sure - you won't want to go back to cigarettes after a few months of using them, and with any luck, you will be able to step down from 4 to 2 mg after a few weeks. The memory of smoking will fade, but the pleasures of nicotine use, and the associated risks such as high blood pressure will continue with use of the lozenges. Understand that you will need to face the challenge of quitting the lozenges down the road. Diet Coke and Altoids might do the trick. But what the heck - it's still healthier than smoking...

If you are serious about quitting, these lozenges may help.

I have tried the gum, but I found it hard on my teeth and gums. I also didn't like how quickly it lost its flavor. In short, I failed to quit smoking using the gum. I also failed to quit smoking on the patch. I personally need that quick release of nicotine. I bought these lozenges when I decided to give quitting another try. They are small, but powerful. I smoked menthol cigarettes, and the strong mint flavor is a good subsitution. I am only on my fifth day smoke-free, but I have already succeeded in situations that caused me to fail in the past. I spent hours with a smoker friend outside talking, while she smoked, and I had my mints. I can honestly say I wasn't tempted to smoke. I gave it four stars because the flavor and texture does take some getting used to. Everyone's taste will be different. Obviously the mints will only help, if you really want to quit. I highly reccommend them for people who are motivated, but have struggled with other nicotine replacement aids.

Nicorette Mini Lozenge in a 81 count pack. If you are under 18 years of age, ask a doctor before use. Before using this product, read the enclosed User's Guide for complete directions and other important information. Stop smoking completely when you begin using the lozenge. If you smoke your first cigarette more than 30 minutes of waking up, use 2 mg nicotine lozenge. Nicotine lozenge is a medicine and must be used a certain way to get the best results. Place the lozenge in your mouth and allow the lozenge to slowly dissolve (about 10 minutes). Minimize swallowing. Do not chew or swallow lozenge. You may feel a warm or tingling sensation. Occasionally move the lozenge from one side of your mouth to the other until completely dissolved (about 10 minutes). Do not eat or drink 15 minutes before using or while the lozenge is in your mouth. To improve your chances of quitting, use at least 9 lozenges per day for the first 6 weeks. Do not use more than one lozenge at a time or continuously use one lozenge after another since this may cause you hiccups, heartburn, nausea or other side effects. Do not use more than 5 lozenges in 6 hours. Do not use more than 20 lozenges per day. Stop using the nicotine lozenge at the end of 12 weeks. If you still feel the need to use nicotine lozenges, talk to your doctor.
