Safer than you think: You're right, nicotine is terribly addictive, especially in cigarettes. If you're not a smoker, you should avoid nicotine lozenges, but for smokers, almost all the risk is in the smoke, not the nicotine. Too much nicotine causes nausea, not much more. If you find the lozenges help you avoid cigarettes, using them is much better for you than smoking!
