Nicotine Polacrilex Lozenge 4 mg, Cherry Flavor, Stop Smoking Aid, 168 Count

I quit smoking and smokeless tobacco decades ago. I recently took a couple of puffs off of my wife's cigarette and got a GREAT buzz. I liked it and soon was taking a few puffs every day. The buzz got less and less as my body got used to the nicotine, but I was liking it anyway. Not wanting to go down that road again and doubting my will power, I bought these lozenges. The first day I slipped a lozenge between cheek and gum, I barely thought about smoking, but could feel the nicotine in my system. The lozenges last about an hour if allowed to dissolve by themselves. Remember, I don't have the "habit" which is the hardest part about quitting. These will defiantly help curb your nicotine addiction, but you have to kick the "habit" in other ways. Taste is slightly bitter and mint. I only used two a day for 2 days, then only one for 3 days. Now I chew one piece of basic care gum (about 1/3 the dose) if I think about taking a puff. UPDATE/ADDITION: My buddy is (was) a longtime "smokeless" tobacco user that had tried to quit dipping many times. I told him about these lozenges and he bought some. He has not used any tobacco dip since his second day! He tells me that a lozenge slipped into his usual place between cheek and gum gives him the same "tingle" that tobacco did, and he has almost zero desire to use tobacco now. He's now 1 week tobacco free and only uses 2-4 lozenges a day. It made me feel good to help a friend. I will continue to tout the effectiveness for those who really want to kick tobacco. I have not even thought about smoking since my first review and don't use the lozenges or gum anymore. Be a quitter, try some if you are SERIOUS.

these help me cut back on smoking good flavor

Cherry is not my favorite flavor (Cinnamon is), but I definitely prefer these standard-size lozenges, as opposed to the mini-lozenges. The Cinnamon flavored version is consistently more expensive, and I go through a lot of these, but it's worth every penny to keep me from vaping. Having been a previous smoker many decades ago and then more currently vaping, I have to say that vaping is much more addictive than cigarettes, because you can vape almost anywhere and the smell isn't a problem. I was such a vaping addict that I even vaped in airplane bathrooms, stalls in airport bathrooms, and stalls in restaurant bathrooms. I was never "caught", but clearly my addiction was running my life. Vaping is expensive and my voice was becoming hoarse; additionally, you have to keep up with buying the cartridges and charging the devices. Long story short, I've been vape-free for at least six months and proud of myself, even though these lozenges are a bit expensive, I'll keep buying them in Cinnamon and Cherry and sometimes Mint, for as long as I need them. I'm a much happier person and can look at myself in the mirror proudly now!! I hope to inspire at least one person to quit vaping or smoking and try different flavors of these lozenges, because I guarantee you that if I can do it, literally everyone else can too!!! It is completely possible!! Smoking and vaping are vicious addictions, and a lot of work to keep up with; think of it as giving yourself a break from chasing your tail all the time.....finding the product, paying for it, hiding out to smoke or vape, and charging the device or dealing with the sickening smoke smell.... just give yourself a break, make your life easier and give the lozenges a try!!

These are great, there isn't any difference between this product and a similar product you buy from the store.mit does have more though.

Great helper aide to quit smoking!

An excellent product. Here, I smoked cigarettes, then transitioned to cigars during the late 90's cigar aficionado era, then back to more cigarettes about ten years ago. That's about 30 years of smoking. Well, the roomie noticed my lungs getting weaker, he doesn't want to lose his close friend, so in order to wean we away from smoking, he started buying me nicotine gum, the small 4 mg. pills, then the brand cherry, cinnamon, and mint lozenges. Since I am on a budget, I gave in a gave them all a try. I found the Cherry Flavor to be the most enjoyable. Problem was, the prices and size of the tablets continued to drop after a time, so I decided to look for another source, and viola! -there they were on Amazon, AND for a great price for buying the larger quantity box. Couldn't be happier. They are now a staple product for me. I love this brand AND will buy these repeatedly. My lungs healed up after quitting, and although I'm not perfect, I'm far healthier for having used this product to quit in 2020-2021. -Very Highly Recommended For Those Who Really Want Something That Actually Works Well. -Recommended. A++++

After a few days of using I developed a cough and sore throat , but only with this flavor and brand…I’m fine with the mint flavor

Product is excellent, but Amazon shipping time is always false. If you are a Prime member, and the product ships in one day, it will actually take 3 days. So, order it several days before you need it.
