Niquitin cq lozenges (4mg)

Advantages: great aid to quit smoking
Disadvantages: none

...after taking each lozenge, which was annoying (kids found this hilarious) but they did stop after a few days. another thing that it said on 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 this I was ready to stop taking them altogether. That was two years ago now and apart from a few lapses when I was giving up, I have not had a fag since. In my opinion you have to have the will power to quit, with or without quitting aids, if you dont...

Review of NiQuitin CQ CQ Lozenge

Niquitin CQ Lozenges - Have helped me!

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 with the lozenges was it helped with food cravings especially 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...

Using NiQuitin Lozenges

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

...rapidly. My wife says that if I can give up smoking then anybody can. I have tried acupunture,hypnosis, nicotine gum,nicotine patches,and cold turkey (but only lasted one hour on that one) 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. Now I am informed by my Health Centre that the lozenges are only to be supplied in Mint flavour. I have tried these before and found them personally to be revolting. It took a strong mouthwash to get rid...

Review of NiQuitin CQ CQ Lozenge

Who fancies a post-coital Nicotine lozenge?

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

...the chemist next door instead. The pharmacist whom I have never met before sat me down, calmed me down told me how well I had done and recommended the lozenges. Because I used to smoke within 30 minutes of waking she told me I would need the 4mg version as opposed to the weaker 2mg version and I handed over my £8.99 (I sit there think I could have got 2 packets of fags for that!!!!!!) On first impressions these are in a blister pack and are very similar size and shape to Strepsils lozenges. I popped one of the blister pack and did as the pharmacist told me ? don?t suck just let it slowly dissolve and they said it would take between 20 ? 30 minutes. After about 30 seconds I got the hit of nicotine and I literally felt myself calm down. Suitable calmed I got back in the car and began the drive back to work. Half a mile down the road I had...

NiQuitin CQ (2mg)

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 few of my friends. They are brilliant!! I have 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...

★Pink dumps her crap mate★

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

...for reducing cigarettes as they could be replaced with nicotine gum?..but my jaw ached and I was fed up of looking like a chav. I tried the lozenges (without reading the instructions) and kept going dizzy so I just thought hey I must just have to carry on smoking (amazing what a smoker will tell themselves to justify a cigarette) TA DA ATTEMPT NUMBER 8?..My sister came on MSN at work and told me her mate (my age) was in hospital with COPD and an oxygen mask?.suddenly I realised that if I don't stop smoking NOW then that would be me. I put my fag out at 10.35am and put a NiQuitin CQ lozenge in my mouth. 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...

No Thanks - I Don't Smoke (Any More!)

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

...the harder to stop again. I simply CAN'T do it is most people's reaction, and they then "give up giving up". ~ ~ What NiQuitn CQ does is to give you your required dose of nicotine, but in the form of a pleasant mint flavoured lozenge. Nicotine taken in this form is a relatively harmless drug in terms of your health, although obviously still HIGHLY addictive. The lozenges come in either 4mg or 2mg tablets. The 4mg (strongest) lozenges are recommended for smokers like myself, who have their first cigarette within the first half hour of waking, and who are heavy smokers. The 2mg tablets are for smokers who generally DON'T smoke first thing in the morning, and have a lighter and less well established smoking habit/addiction. The idea is that you let the lozenge slowly dissolve in your mouth, moving it often from one side to the other, and thus...

Can I Kick it this time!!

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 up smoking it is important to 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...

Quitting made a bit easier

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 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...

The sweetie or the ciggie

Advantages: Helps get rid of the smoking habit
Disadvantages: You have to get rid of the lozenge habit

...taste good, which is both an advantage and a disadvantage. He would have had as little success with them as with everything else if they didn't, but this is why he now doesn't want to stop using them. Last week we were abroad and could only get the mini tablets for a couple of days. They tasted terrible, burnt his mouth and he didn't like them, but he took them until he could buy more lozenges. There's 2mg nicotine in every lozenge, equivalent to 3 cigarettes it says, and you can take up to 15 lozenges a day. My husband takes 4-5 a day, so much less than the maximum allowed. It's clear that he still needs the nicotine, but I am happy that he isn't also getting the carbon monoxide and other chemicals found in tobacco, so, all in all, I think the lozenges are doing a good job and, whilst I'm sure he will stop taking them eventually, I still...
