Quiting? Try NiQuitin. 04/03/2011

User recommends the product

Advantages They work
Disadvantages Side effects

My latest mission in life has been to quit smoking, which I have tried before and failed quite epically. In fact the last time I tried I ended up curled in a ball on my bed crying my eyes out, which spectacularly worried my boyfriend until I managed to explain that there was nothing wrong, nothing had happened and no, I couldn’t explain why I was crying! So I came to the conclusion that if I was going to quit I’d need to do it properly and sensibly and obviously going cold turkey was not sensible for me! So I arranged a trip down the doctors to see what they could offer, as Nicotine ... more

No Thanks - I Don't Smoke (Any More!)
Review with images
03/04/2007

User recommends the product

Advantages First nicotine replacement therapy I've tried that actually works.
Disadvantages Some minor side effects. (See review)

~ ~ I almost feel like I'm tempting fate putting fingers to keyboard to write this review. Let me explain. After 43 years smoking I am now on my 19th day without a cigarette. Tempting fate? Well, the thought in the back of my mind is; "Is it too soon to be writing this review? Should I perhaps not a wait a while longer to make sure that the cure is permanent and that I'm not going to relapse back into my old ways?" I believe that would be the case if I were writing simply to praise my own outstanding willpower, and to tell you all how wonderful I am for being able to quit. The truth however is ... more

Quitting made a bit easier 27/07/2007

User recommends the product

Advantages Takes the edge off your cravings, tastes good, Works
Disadvantages Not being able to eat or drink with them

I hope this isn’t too early to be writing this review but I have stopped smoking for 4 weeks and 4 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 first box in Boots for £4.08p (it was on offer) for 36 ... more

Who fancies a post-coital Nicotine lozenge? 19/07/2004

User recommends the product

Advantages May ultimately help me to live longer
Disadvantages Nausea, Cheaper to smoke

For anyone that has seen either my drunken ramblings on here or on ciaochatting you will know that I have given up smoking. Today is day 20 or something but basically I am in week 3. I have had a couple of lapses (mainly after alcohol) but essentially 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 ... more

Niquitin cq lozenges (4mg) 06/12/2007

User recommends the product

Advantages great aid to quit smoking
Disadvantages none

I give up smoking two years ago, but it was not easy, I tried the gum and the nicorette inhaler and I failed with both attempts. I had smoked for 14 years, so I new it was not going to be easy, I smoked 40 - 60 fags a day and I new I couldnt quit with willpower alone. I went to my GP and he was prescribing medicine, that could make you take fits, so I decided not to bother with this idea, as I would probably be the unlucky one who would take the fits. So I went to my local chemist and they informed me about Niquitin cq lozenges, they cost around £8.00, they advised me these would be good for ... more

Can I Kick it this time!! 28/11/2006

User recommends the product

Advantages Helps kick the horrible habbit
Disadvantages Peppery taste and possible side affects

As you might well know I tried giving up smoking a while back, this only lasted three months. I found when I came off the patches I started 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 attempt to give ... more

BE PREPARED TO SWAP ONE ADDICTION FOR ANOTHER!!! 08/07/2011

Advantages They work pretty quickly, very few side effects unlike patches or nasal sprays
Disadvantages Highly addictive - you need to be strict & stick to dosage - pretty expensive

As mentioned by a previous poster - I have to agree with everything she mentioned. I had tried many other products before trying the lozenge - and I was genuinely surprised at the results. Once I started the lozenge, I had practically no cravings (apart from the usual psychological yearning of missing holding a ciggie in my hand) and the lozenges take a while to dissolve, so that certainly keeps you occupied. There are two flavours - original/mint, and now mini lozenges in original/mint/fruit flavours. At the end of the day, the lozenges are quite expensive at £15-£18 a pop, but at least you ... more

The sweetie or the ciggie 15/08/2002

User recommends the product

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 attack and the doctors told him that the stress of trying to stop smoking was probably a contributory factor! He was still determined, however, and ... more

Using NiQuitin Lozenges 12/11/2002

User doesn't recommend the product

Advantages Effective,clean and easy to use
Disadvantages Expensive (24p.per lozenge)not easy to stop and only available in "Mint" flavour

I gave up smoking on the 1st.July 2002 and have not smoked since. I followed the instructions right down to step 3. Present consumption is 4 a day. Getting off the lozenges completely is proving difficult as the initial withdrawal symptoms return albeit in much reduced intensity. The leaflet says do not use beyond six months so I have until the end of Dec.2002, but is it wise to continue although it is obviously better than smoking, in my particular case. The active ingredient is nicotine so are we lozenge users still smoking by proxy? Another constituent is Aspartame which is surrounded by ... more
