Give and get support around quitting
Day 2 - so far, so good. Have a question for the NRT users out there. Has anyone used the lozenges? I tried one this morning in the car and they are awful!! I couldn't keep it in my mouth for more than 2 seconds. Anyone else find them terrible or is it just me? 🙂
I didn't use them for this quit, but I couldn't stand the gum or lozenges. They actually made me nauseous. Have you thought about patches?
I am using the patches - the lozenges just weren't for me - terrible! LOL!

Congrats on day 2! I haven't tried them, but they sound gross. I've found chewing regular gum is a good distraction and something to keep my mouth busy with.
Im using the mint lozenges by Nicorette and don't think they're too bad.
Odd woman out. I like the lozenges. I had tried the mini's and they are faster for delivery. I use the regulars now and my only complaint is they can upset your stomach. Not supposed to drink or eat anything for 15 minutes before and after. Makes it tricky. I use patches too but they are so slow and you can’t control them. There is also nicotine inhalers but you need an RX for it.
One thing I have that works better for me is I don’t do a whole lozenge in one sitting. I use 2mg. ones and keep little pill cups in the house and car. It was very rare for me to smoke 2 cigs in a row. The mini's dissolve fast so I quit those. The regular ones can last me 2-3 hours. They say to use the whole thing, but ya don’t have to. Sometimes I get a little too much and feel spacey. I’ve gone places and forgot I have one under my tongue and have to find a way to save the rest for later. Makes for creativity.
UGH I totally agree! I found them gross and slimy and not even worth the bother.
