Can 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 thing 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?
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 and is also very stupid.
