Advantages: They are a good AID to help stop smoking Disadvantages: There are no 1mg lozenges

I haven't looked back.

♣ HOW IT WORKED BY MISS THIS IS A DODDLE I started off on the 4mg lozenges….you shove it in your mouth and suck…I have the mint ones as they taste nicer than the normal although I quite like both. And they both give a lovely kick at the back of my throat….a bit like the buzz of a cigarette ... ...between 30 minutes and an hour and you can rest it between your cheek and gum for a break….I like to put mine under my tongue until it goes all chalky then have a suck fest.
The 4mg ones are for people who have a cigarette within 30 mins of waking…or like me…30 seconds after opening my eyes…(which works out at about 2 hours Before actually waking …I don't do mornings OK?!)
I started on about 12-15 a day (15 being the absolute max per day) for about ...

Advantages: First nicotine replacement therapy I've tried that actually works. Disadvantages: Some minor side effects. (See review)
...going to write about here, NiQuitin QC Lozenges, I honestly don't think I would have been able to get through the first hour without a smoke, never mind nearly a fortnight!
~ ~ Let me give you a wee bit of background. I began to smoke as a teenager (13-years-old) back in the early 1960's when EVERYONE smoked. It was a rarity in those days to come across anyone who didn't, and the information relating to tobacco and its bad effects on your health ... ...publicised as it is today.
I loved smoking, and took to it immediately, very quickly developing a 40 to 60 cigarettes a day habit. As my addiction progressed I went from smoking tipped cigarettes to plain (Capstan Full Strength Navy Cut) in order to fuel my nicotine craving more quickly. Eventually, for economic reasons more than anything (40 to 60 fags a day was an expensive habit for a teenager, even back in the 1960's) I switched to smoking hand ...

...days and have been using NiQuitin CQ lonzenges to help me, and am determined to keep it up.
I had been smoking for about 12 years but was down to about 10/day weekdays and a few more weekends before I decided to quit. I had attempted to quit before, going cold turkey and using the gum but it hadn’t worked for me. With the smoking ban about to start I decided it was a good time to try again and decided on the lozenges.
Price

I bought my ... ...for 36 lozenges at 4mg strength. They come in either 2mg – for smokers who smoke their 1st cigarette 30mins + after waking, or 4mg for those who smoke within 30mins. Although I only smoked 10/day I had my first one pretty soon after getting up so I chose the 4mg.
They come in packs of 36 or 72 lozenges for about £8 for 36 and £12 for 72. There are a lot of offers on at the moment so you can get some good deals, and stock up. I believe they are available ...

Advantages: May ultimately help me to live longer Disadvantages: Nausea, Cheaper to smoke
...I am there and the NiQuitin CQ Lozenges have helped this. But lets get this straight - unless you really want to quit you never will.
For me the turning point was my mum. I know it’s a disgusting habit that will eventually kill me (that’s presuming my liver doesn’t give out first) and although I meant to give up it never actually happened and being 28 and having smoked for 12 years I didn’t even know if I would be able to give up. Then my mum had ... ...biopsied for cancer. Now my mum has never smoked, barely drinks and eats a very healthy diet and exercises and I was thinking how unfair this all was that I live the high life, smoke, drink, etc and am fine. I vowed that if my mum had Cancer I would give up there and then. The biopsies came back as totally normal and my mum was fine but I decided to give up anyway. If I couldn't do it for my mum then I couldn't for it for anyone.

Advantages: great aid to quit smoking Disadvantages: none
...and they informed me about Niquitin cq lozenges, they cost around £8.00, they advised me these would be good for me as I would have smoked my first fag within 30 mins of waking in the mornings.
So I got them home, read the label and discovered that there were some mild side affects, one of them being hiccups which for the first few days I got the hiccups after taking each lozenge, which was annoying (kids found this hilarious) but they did stop ... ...the label was that these lozenges do contain nicotine, but they dont contain tar or any other harmful substance that fags do, so they are not harmful to your health.
I started of on the 4mg and took them for 3 - 4 weeks, they were mint flavour, but there was not much of a mint taste of them, it was a powdery taste when you put them in your mouth, at least for the first few minutes anyway, for the next 3 - 4 weeks I took the 2mg lozenges, and after ...

Advantages: Helps kick the horrible habbit Disadvantages: Peppery taste and possible side affects
...again. I found these niquitin cq lozenges quite good .
They come in a packet of 72 and are in blister packets similar to strepsils and almost the same size, so quite big and they contain 4mg of nicotine and are white. I have to original flavour but the also come in mint. I wanted to try the worst first so if they were really horrible I had the mint to fall back on which I have not tried yet.
__How should I use niquitin CQ lozenges__
During and ... ...stop smoking completely because this ruins your chances of success. These lozenges' are suitable for people who have their first fag within 30 minutes of waking.
One lozenge should be placed in the mouth and moved at intervals from one side of the mouth to the other until it dissolves, this will take around 20-30 minutes. You should not chew or swallow these whole. I chewed my first one by accident and believe me it was so horrible, it gave me heartburn ...

Advantages: Helps get rid of the smoking habit Disadvantages: You have to get rid of the lozenge habit
I am 54 and smoked from the age of 20-49. I stopped without any aids when my husband had his first heart attack 5 years ago. I am one of the lucky ones, and managed to get rid of the habit after reading Allan Carrs book(but that's another op!)
My husband, bless him, continued to smoke, although wishing desperately that he didn't.He tried patches, cutting down, chewing gum, an inhalor, herbal cigarettes, cigars and a pipe. Then he had another heart ... ...trying to stop smoking was probably a contributory factor!
He was still determined, however, and six months ago he tried the NiquitinCQ lozenges. I am here to tell you that he hasn't had a cigarette since. Neither has he had any withdrawal symptoms at all-no irritableness,sweating, headaches etc, and he hasn't put on weight either. I am so pleased that I couldn't care if he sucked lozenges for the rest of his life, but he is now concerned that he ...

Advantages: Effective,clean and easy to use Disadvantages: Expensive (24p.per lozenge)not easy to stop and only available in "Mint" flavour
...before Niquitin.
Before starting on Niquitin CQ I reduced down from 20 a day to 10 mainly to get used to the idea of giving up. To date I have saved £288-10p.and have not smoked
2,170 cigarettes. Having reduced daily intake down to 4 lozenges and managing to go several hours at a time without thinking about it I feel sure I can crack it within the six months time frame.
10th. Dec 2004 Update
Well I haven't cracked it. Still on 3 lozenges a day.
... ...So now I am off NiQuitin CQ. Just started a course of Nicorette Microtab and I have a few standard (not flavoured) Niquitin packs left in case they are ineffective and will have time to try other products. Will update this review in due course.
In my opinion the mint flavour has ruined a good product which had enabled me to stop smoking.
It has not been possible for me to reduce the consumption any lower than 3 a day therefore I conclude an element ...

Advantages: Only thing ive tried that works!! Disadvantages: You end up addicted to the lozenge, costs more than smoking!
I had been smoking for four years until I decided to quit. I tried stopping without any aids but failed miserably! Then tried the gum but that didnt help much either! I had depression and anxiety along with a few other mental health disorders and the cigarettes did help with that. Finally though i decided it wasnt worth the risk to my health, despite the fact they helped my mental health and I decided I would try the lozenges after advice from a ... ...not had a cigarette since, They do have 2mg of nicotine in them which is about 4 times what is in a cigarette but they dont have any of the other chemicals and are therefore much better for you! They also stop you wanting a cigarette at all and they last longer than a cigarette would have. Another positive is that I did not had any withdrawel symptoms (although this is probably because i was still getting the nicotine!)
They cost roughly around ...

Advantages: Helps you to quit smoking! I found it helped with food cravings Disadvantages: Funny taste to begin with
I was recommended these by my GP when visiting their 'stop smoking' clinic. I found the lozenges very useful and help with any cravings. They come in 4mg for heavier smokers and 2mg for the milder smoker. The flavours are either plain (taste a bit sweet) or mint flavour (Minty!). You are meant to place one between your cheek and gums and alternate between each side of the mouth, they slowly dissolve in about 30 mins or so. The great thing I found ... ...as you cannot eat or drink when you have one in your mouth. The taste takes a short while to get used to (a bit spicey maybe?) but not long. You start with 1 lozenge every 1 - 2 hours then gradually reduce the amount you have over a period of time (The pack comes with instructions). Overall I found this to be a good product and have given up for nearly 2 months!! ...

Advantages: no bad smelling clothes and ashtray breathe Disadvantages: hard to kick
first the boring stuff
the active ingrediant in each tablet is nictotine in the form of a resin complex[nicotine polacrilex],
because each lozenge contains15mg of sodium and the maximum dailey amount [15 lozenges]contain 225mgsodium they could be harmfull if you are on a low sodium diet.
as well as being harmfull if you are pregnant, breast feeding,have a heart problem,liver or kidney disease,a stomach ulcer,
if you are taking high blood pressure ... ...medication adjusted so ALWAYS consult your doctor.
there are some side effects from taking the lozengers and these include sorethroat,dizziness,mouth irritation,coughing,being sick,abnormal appetite to name but a few.
less common side effects include restlessness,chest pains,nose bleeds ,thirst,if these effects get worse then stop using the lozengers.
i myself am one of the rare ones that gave up smoking without any help what so ever ,but sadly ...

Quick review of NiQuitin CQ CQ Lozenge
I stopped smoking 13 weeks ago after a 40 year addiction to the Sticks, Found patches not to be suitable so i decided to go onto the 2mg Lozenges.
I found them to be very good in giving me my nicotine hit but 13 weeks on i am as addicted to these as i was to the Cigs.
Plus point.
I am saving money and don't smell like an old ashtray.
Minus point.
Still sucking the Lozenges and the addiction is almost as bad as the Cigs were.
I did smoke 30 a day, And TBH i can't say i feel any better but they say i will !!
Also i have noticed i get breathless rather quickly now. ...

Advantages: cheaper than cigarettes Disadvantages: just as addictive ,and theres nothing to help you get off of these!!!
my husband gave up smoking over 3yrs ago using niguitincq 2mg mint lozenge,s ...and its been a nightmare !! when he had no cigarettes he was like a bear with a sore head but now hes worse if he has no lozenge,s! the information you get with them states to help you stay smoke free for 12 weeks take a lozenge when ever you are strongly tempted to smoke ,well when you smoked upto 60 a day thats pretty much all of the time.
then theres the side effects ... ...he,s had it .......
i even tryed seeking advice at our local chemists on how to wean him off of the lozenges and you know what they did................tryed to sell me the gum talk about going from bad to worse at least with the lozenges he sucks them i dont think i could handle listening to the smacking lips when hes chewing gum 24-7.so for now its the lozengers
[if anyones got any ideas please let me know i would be grateful]
