I want to Best Buy to buy a new microwave and our sales guy was an ex smoker who admitted that he was still using the nicotine lozenges after 10 years of quitting smoking. That blew my mind away. Personally, I didn't use anything except the patch at first, then after I went off that I started using the lozenges and the gum. I went off that a few weeks ago and it's been almost 8 months. I figured it was time to wean myself off the actual drug. Nothing has changed much. But I smoked for 45 years. So I'm not expecting to feel better right away. I'm waiting for the one-year mark. Then I will make a formal evaluation of how I feel different. But I have had several medical professionals tell me that it is much preferable to actually smoking.
