A member asked:

I stopped smoking a few years ago and am now addicted to nicabate lozenges, how can i stop using them?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Use patches, program: In general, the best way to get off short-acting drugs is to switch to a long-acting form and taper that form. Stopping the lozenges and using a nicotine patch (depending on how many lozenges you are using, if more than 10, use a 21 mg patch, if 4 or less a 14 mg patch); wear that patch for 2 weeks, then go to a lower strength for 2 weeks, and then the lowest strength 2 w. Join a cessation program.
