Nicotine lozenges

Will nicotine lozenges help me quit smoking?

Nicotine lozenges are like hard candy and contain only a tiny amount of nicotine. As you suck on the lozenges, nicotine enters the blood stream and is said to decrease the urge to smoke. There are several types of nicotine lozenges available in different doses and flavors. One needs to suck on at least 20-30 lozenges a day to decrease the craving for nicotine.

Nicotine lozenges are one of the biggest frauds in the pharmaceutical industry. You can suck on all day and night - the only think you will get is heart burn, dyspepsia, night time reflux, throat irritation and hiccups to last you a life time. Moreover, the lozenges can mess up your dentures, discolor your teeth and make your breath smell like crap. If you want these lozenges to work, you have to suck on them all the time and you cannot eat for 15 minutes before and after use. The minimum time you have to use the lozenges is 12 weeks.

So do the lozenges work? Hell no, these lozenges suck. Less than 1/100,000 people quit smoking with lozenges. Finally, these darn lozenges are not cheap. If you have any common sense, quit cold turkey. It is hard, but still the most effective and cheapest way to stop smoking. Anyone who buys lozenges to quit smoking is flushing his/her hard earned money down the toilet.
