Gday I found fisherman’s friends and mints etc tended to burn my taste buds. Especially at the amount I was consuming. Sugarless gum well just read the label. To much consumption can have a laxitive effect…… I settled on fruit tic tacs. I enjoyed having a “packet” to carry around. It also gave me a ritual. I’d stop open the lid take out one without dropping any and pop it in my mouth. Put the little box iback in my pocket. Had the added advantage of having less than 2 cal per serve. They say a black coffee and 2 tic tacs are the breakfast of super models

Your personal choice. Go down the candy lane in a store & look for "fruity" substitutions if that's your preference. I encourage you though to pick out a few different ones to try. Size and texture really shouldn't matter (in my lowly opinion ) because remember you are building new habits, new go to's (at least for now as subs). It takes a while for anything new to become our new normal (feel right). BTW you are not alone in thinking mint/menthol may not be the way to go (for you). I know a few that feel those flavors are addictive to them too. Good listening to yourself! You sound like a winner to me. Keep it up!

As the other ppl said, try sugar free gum, hard candy, lolly pops, or even cut up crunch veggies, such as carrots, celery or broccoli with dip. What worked for me was using cinnamon sticks to pretend I was smoking a cigarette, but since you are addicted now to the lozenges, I think the gum, candy or crunchy veggies will help you. You can do it!!! One day at a time!! Keep coming on this site as it will help you to be focused!

Hi T, I do agree it’s a case of keeping your mouth busy You are still putting nicotine in your body ..therefore you still have cravings when the nicotine wears off If you could find something to suck or chew on for a while till your body adjusts Your right going back to smoking is a huge NO NO… I used just regular sugar free gum ..it worked for me
