Niquitin cq lozenges (4mg)

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 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...

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

...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 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 a routine mammogram and it showed a lump that they biopsied for cancer. Now my mum has never smoked, barely drinks and eats a very...

★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...

NiQuitin CQ (2mg)

Advantages: Only thing ive tried that works!!
Disadvantages: You end up addicted to the lozenge, costs more than smoking!

...symptoms (although this is probably because i was still getting the nicotine!) They cost roughly around £18 for 72, so where as cigarettes would cost me roughly £16 for 80 they are more expensive.. however, as Ive said the lozenges last longer so you have less in a day then you would cigarettes. The taste isnt too bad. As far as im aware they come in three flavours: original, mint and fruit. I preferred the mint although the fruit wasnt too bad.. the worst by far was the original! The only problem I found was that you end up addicted to the lozenge! However i found it easy enough to come off them by replacing them with polo's (Not too sure its a good thing to keep replacing one thing with another but it worked for me!) Pros: Really works! Tastes ok Cons: More expensive than cigarettes Just as addictive as cigarettes May make...

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)

...I was suffering badly, not just from the pain of the operation (although that WAS pretty severe) but from acute and serious symptoms of nicotine withdrawal. I hadn't had a cigarette all day, but was literally hanging onto the edge of the cliff by my fingertips. She went into her bag and came out with this box of lozenges called "NiQuitin QC". Seemingly she had explained my predicament to our local pharmacist (who she knows very well) and he had suggested them as an aid to quitting he'd heard very good reports about. To be honest, I was sceptical, as I had in the past tried just about every "patented cure" known to man without any success. But what the hell, I thought, nothing ventured, nothing gained. So I decided to give them a go. ~ ~ Right from the off I realised that these mint lozenges were different to anything I'd tried before...

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...

Review of NiQuitin CQ CQ Lozenge

The sweetie or the ciggie

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 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...
