Stop Smoking Cigs

Commit Lozenges are a nicotine replacement therapy that is approved by the FDA for use. They are used to wean a smoker off of nicotine slowly, through a measured reduction in nicotine intake by delivering nicotine at a slower and more controlled rate than cigarettes.

How Do Commit Lozenges Work?

Commit Lozenges help you fight your addiction to nicotine by providing it to you in a slow, controlled manner through lozenge use throughout the day. The lozenges come in a 2 mg or 4 mg option. Generally, if you smoke a pack a day or have your first cigarette within 30 minutes of waking up, the company recommends you start with the 4mg strength lozenges. The recommended stop smoking program for use of Commit is to use at least 9 lozenges a day for at least six weeks, but no more than 20 in a day to avoid overdosing on nicotine. The catch with the lozenge if you’re used to eating hard candy, and at some point chewing it, is that you can not chew the Commit lozenge or swallow it or the saliva it produces. You can also not eat or drink while taking one, and it is recommended not to eat or drink at least 15 minutes prior to use as well. If you do, your stomach may get upset, throat irritated, or you could also have severe hiccups. Once you reach weeks seven through nine of the program, you shift to taking one lozenge at an interval of two to four house. Weeks 10-12, you shift to a 4-8 hour interval for taking the lozenge.

What is in a Commit Lozenge?

The primary ingredient in a Commit lozenge is nicotine polacrilex. Depending on what flavor of lozenge you choose to use, the following ingredients may also be contained:

Aspartame, sodium carbonate, potassium bicarbonate, magnesium stearate calcium, polycarbophil, mannitol, sodium alginate, and xanthan gum.

Should You Use the Commit Lozenge?

It depends. Stop smoking product suitability can be different for every smoker. The key to Commit helping you kick the habit for good is ensuring that it is an integral part of your stop smoking plan, and that you are committed (no pun intended) to quitting. Some users have become addicted to taking nicotine in lozenge form after using Commit, where others have reported the digestive upset and dental problems for their usage of the product made it unusable. If you try the product and experience side-effects, ensure you consult your doctor or dentist (when applicable) before more serious problems occur. If you have tried Commit and did not have success, you may want to find a stop smoking product that does not contain nicotine to help you kick the habit.
