Product Reviews of Nicorette Lozenges , 4 mg, 72-Count (Mint)

Product Review: 23 Years with 6 months without
Summary: 5 Stars

I was a smokeless tobacco user (Copenhagen) for 23 years. I've tried quitting a number of times and was never able to make it past the first few days.

Even though they say that these are not for use for quitting smokeless, six months ago today I took my last dip.

I was a two can a day dipper. That's 775 mg of Nicotine per day - the equivalent of 10.5 packs of cigs per DAY or 194 of these lozenges!

The quit wasn't easy, but these made it bearable. And, I haven't have a single chew since I quit. The longest period of time w/o chew since I was 13 years old.

On the downside, I did overuse these. I figure it was partly because Copenhagen has a lot more nicotine than cigs so when you're used to sucking down almost 800 mg per day, these 4 mg doses just don't always cut it. But I never had more than 16 mints in a single day.

I finally took my last lozenge four days ago. I decided that I needed to be done with nicotine - not just Copenhagen. It's been tough - I'm going through withdraws all over again (but much smaller). It's amazing how quickly I had become addicted to the lozenges.

These are a great aid and they are much better than either cigs or chew, but they are a crutch. If I had it to do over again I would use them much less and get off them much quicker. But, I am now nicotine free and it feels great!

UPDATE Oct 2008: It's now been over three years. I still to this day have not had a single dip (chew) but I am STILL buying these damn lozenges. I am just as addicted to these as I was to Copenhagen. On the plus side, I think these are probably much safer than the cancer dips I used to take, but wow, the money I've given Commit is probably astonishing. I guess I need to look for another solution to get off these. It's still better than chewing or smoking, but it's still nicotine which is the addictive agent.

Product Review: 2nd time
Summary: 5 Stars

This is the 2nd time I have tried Commit. The first time I didn't follow directions, so it didn't work, but I decided to try once again. I bought several boxes of Commit, and went fully by the directions and guess what I am smoke free. Thank you Commit!! This really works.

Product Review: 2nd week and still smoke free!!
Summary: 5 Stars

Commit is the only product that has ever worked for me. I smoked for 24 years and have done patches, gum and Zyban (I wasn't too impressed with some of the side effects which included death) but these things really work. You still need will power and have to set your mind to a quit date but they've even got me through having a vodka or too which was always my weakest time when quitting previously.

Be careful though you do feel nausea sometimes if you over do them and they can be addictive so stick to the quitting program they recommend. Good luck if you decide to get rid of the dreaded weed these will help.

Product Review: 40 years
Summary: 5 Stars

I smoked heavily for over 40 years and was convinced that I would smoke til the day I croaked. Having been a veteran of several near-quits, you could say I was very skeptical about this (and all the other) "smoking cessation" products on the market.

I tried the gum and it couldn't DENT my habit. The patch seemed stupid to me -- who needs Nicotine when they're asleep? I looked into Zyban but discovered that it doesn't interact well with alcohol and is NOT recommended for those of us who enjoy a cocktail. Or two. The nasal spray was about as palatable as a Crisco sandwich, and burnt the bejesus outta my schnozz. ("Hey folks, here's a good idea! Let's all snort a line of Emeril's Essence. BAM!")

Even these lozenges are not without their drawbacks. If you suck on (or chew) these puppies you end up with a sour belly and enough flatulence to attract a flock of migrating Canadian geese. But when used as directed (ie let them dissolve sloooooowly) these things do make the cravings subside. Considerably.

So has it worked? I hope so. Ain't no such thing as a miracle cure and if you're not motivated, nothing's going to help. While I am reluctant to say I've officially quit, I can tell you that it's been over two weeks and so far, so good. No smokes yet. Every day it gets a little easier, and this time I'm 80% convinced I can make it stick.

All in all, you could do worse than to give these things a shot. With the free shipping, they're a lot cheaper here than they are at your local drugstore. For added savings buy the 4mg versions -- if you're a light smoker, just bust `em in half. Now all I gotta do is go on a damn diet to shed all the new buckets of lard I am acquiring, but that's another story. At least my lungs will be clear when I expire from rank obesity.

Good luck to all.
