Amazon.com Product Description
If you're thinking about quitting smoking--even if it's not the first time you've tried --Commit Lozenge delivers strong, lasting medicine to help stop cravings before they start. Commit 2 mg Lozenge doubles your chance of quitting, even if you've tried before.*

And if you're worried about weight gain, you should know the Commit 2 mg Lozenge can actually help reduce weight gain while you quit.** The Therapeutic Nicotine in Commit helps reduce your nicotine cravings and relieves some nicotine withdrawal symptoms to help you quit.

Nicotine is a stronger addiction than most people realize--and cigarettes are a very efficient nicotine delivery system. Each puff sends nicotine to the brain within 10 seconds, activating areas of the brain that produce feelings of pleasure and reward by raising dopamine levels. Dopamine is the same substance involved in addiction like cocaine and heroin. So we have another puff. And another. Soon the brain's chemical structure actually changes. It becomes hooked into wanting more and more nicotine to make the effects last. When the brain stops getting the nicotine it's used to, we begin to feel withdrawal cravings--actually the brain craving nicotine. As this nicotine addiction sets in, the brain links everyday habits with smoking, boosting the role of cigarettes. Normal everyday activities begin to trigger the urge to smoke. Drinking coffee in the morning. Talking on the phone. Work breaks. Driving. So when you try to quit smoking, you're actually fighting a battle on two fronts: 1) physical--that is, nicotine addiction--and 2) habitual, the activities, moods and events linked with smoking.

Beating both nicotine withdrawal cravings and your smoking habits is the key to changing your behavior and starting a new life as a nonsmoker. Commit can help you do both. Let's start with cravings. Once you stop smoking, that's when your brain really starts screaming for nicotine. Your withdrawal cravings can actually intensify in the days after you quit. That's where Therapeutic Nicotine--like that in Commit--is proven effective. Absorbed through your mouth, the nicotine in Commit reduces your nicotine cravings and relieves some nicotine withdrawal symptoms, without the harmful tar or carbon monoxide found in cigarette smoke. Commit Lozenges help stop cravings before they start, increasing your chances of success by allowing you to focus your willpower on changing your behavior. That's where Committed Quitters comes in. Committed Quitters is an online resource that can give you an individualized stop-smoking plan to help change the behaviors that reinforce your habit. Enrolling is easy, and access is free for users of Commit Lozenge. You'll get a multiweek plan tailored to your specific needs, including tips to help you along the way, while Commit's strong medicine helps relieve withdrawal cravings. Commit plus Committed Quitters significantly increases your chance of quitting, even if you've tried before.

Even if you've tried to quit before, Commit Lozenge doubles your chance of quitting successfully.* You use Commit on a regular schedule throughout the day to help prevent cravings. Start with the right strength. Commit is the first and only stop-smoking aid that offers you different strengths based on how soon you smoke your first cigarette in the morning--a method leading experts believe is a better measure of nicotine dependence. Get an individualized stop-smoking plan from Committed Quitters. Your plan can help you overcome your unique barriers to quitting smoking--and increase your chances of success. For example, if you're used to having a cigarette with your morning coffee, you'll get specific advice on overcoming that habit and desire. Look for information in your package of Commit Lozenges, or visit CommittedQuitters.com. Follow the Commit 12-week plan. Commit helps your body gradually adjust to less nicotine. Over a 12-week period, you will use fewer and fewer lozenges, as shown in the chart. But remember, it's designed for a 12-week course of therapy. And for the first six weeks, use at least nine Commit Lozenges a day. Worried about weight gain? It's a real concern for many smokers. But it's small compared to the risks of smoking. And when you use the Commit 2 mg Lozenge, it can actually help reduce weight gain while you quit.** Want more ways to take off those extra pounds? Develop new, healthy habits like eating right and exercising. Have low-calorie, healthy foods handy, chew slowly when you eat, and drink lots of water while you're quitting.

	Remember that nicotine lozenges are medicine and you've got to use them a certain way to get results. Do not use more than one lozenge at a time or continuously use one lozenge after another. Doing so may cause hiccups, heartburn, nausea or other side effects. Do not use more than five lozenges in six hours, or more than 20 lozenges total per day.

	Commit Lozenge comes in two tasty flavors, mint and cherry. Both are available in a convenient Pop Pac for discreet use whenever, wherever.

*The Commit 2 mg Lozenge doubles your chance success vs. placebo.
**A study has shown that smokers who quit using the Commit 2 mg Lozenge gained less weight compared to those quitting on placebo.

Customer Reviews

If you really want to quit smoking, you need this.
In the twelve years I was a smoker I honestly believed it would be impossible to stop. I was so in love with smoking that I used to joke that I would quit when I was dead. When I finally decided that I was fed up with cigarettes once and for all (the cost, the stench, the heavy breath, the smoking bans, on and on) I gave this a try. Previously I had attempted to stop twice before, half-heartedly, using the patch and again with some sort of nonsensical herbal concoction. Both a waste of money. They just weren't strong enough for the chain smoker I was. I actually read reviews of the lozenge here and was convinced to try it. So I set my quit date and bought a box. It was a bit of a gamble since they aren't cheap but neither are cigarettes in NJ anymore. Does it work? Oh yeah, it works.

It doesn't just curb the craves it eliminates them. I went from needing two packs of cigarettes a day to having virtually no desire to even look at them anymore. I'm still stunned. They do work and they work magnificently. One thing I like about them, they dissolve very slowly in your mouth which actually helps to alleviate the oral fixation in the absence of a cigarette.

But be warned: Nothing replaces will power. You really need to want to quit. The lozenge is not a magic bullet but if you do decide to quit they are your best weapon. There is, however, a risk of developing an addiction to lozenges so it's incredibly important to FOLLOW DIRECTIONS and wean yourself off them according to the schedule provided. 4mg is a very strong shot of nicotine. Also if you swallow them or bite them you'll be treated to some very nasty heartburn and hiccups.

Basically, if you follow the program and reinforce the desire to get rid of the smokes with a support group you WILL quit smoking. Trust me.

Works great
I love love love smoking and hated to quit. I have four daughters, however, and am starting to look like the ultimate white trash in the parking lot at soccer games. I have quit before, one time for about a year and a half, but I resumed because I hoped that it would help me lose some of the weight I put on as a result. My shallowness would always win out over any hope of being a good example or a healthier person. Don't get me wrong, I still miss it like a boyfriend, it was just time. I love the lozenges. They work great for me. The last time, I was pregnant and used the patch. I was completely weaned off of them in about 3 weeks, but had wierd side effects and still craved cigarettes like crazy the first month. The nice thing about the lozenges is that they curb those cravings very quickly. Here are my tips for quitting and if I can do it, ANYONE can!!

1: If you use the patch only, mark down on a piece of paper on the fridge how many times you have a craving and watch the progress as those cravings slowly subside. It is a very helpful motivator, as the cravings still come, but you realize that they get much more manageable and after a few weeks you only have a few "moments" a day. This is how I quit completely the first time. I had about 500 marks the first day, but it was great to watch it go down to about 4 marks after a month. I also avoid triggers this week, like other smokers and the area outside where I like to smoke.
2: The second time I quit, I used the 4 mg dose lozenges the first week and then switched to the low dose patch and combined them with low dose (2mg) lozenges as needed the second week.
The third and fourth and fifth week, I am on lozenges as needed. I just buy what's on sale, and am down to only a couple a day. I just bought the higher dose for the same price and only suck on them until an urge subsides, then set it aside until the next urge. I have made this box of 72 last at least three weeks. I plan on switching next week to the lowest dose patch only because the lozenges are addictive, but they sure do work.

Lozenge pros: They definitely help your mouth do something, unlike the patch. You don't eat constantly with them and thereby don't get the incredible weight gain that sometimes happens otherwise. They work quickly. They don't make your jaw sore as the frantic chewing of the nicotine gum can. They really work better than any other method, and I've tried them all! No wierd nightmares at night like the patch and you get that "hit" in the morning or with coffee.
Lozenge cons: Terrible gas, as stated by other reviews. I get the hiccups with them, almost every time, I don't know why, drives me batty! Taste pretty gross (still better than the gum). Last a looonggg time, much longer than stated, more like over an hour. Difficult to eat or drink anything with them, but this could be a pro also.

I hope this helps someone to quit. If anyone needs anymore tips, feel free to ask me. I would love to help someone quit. You really do feel better afterwords, and I loved being a smoker. If it weren't harmful, I would be right back at it. If I can do it, anyone can!

They really work
I've smoked for over 30 years and now I am using commit lozenges to quit smoking. They really work. Whenever I want a cigarette I just suck on a lozenge instead and the desire for a cigarette goes away. I use the lozenge and QuitNet.com for a support group. I have now been quit for 11 months and I'm a smoker who no one thought would ever be able to quit. Give them an honest try you might be pleasantly surprised by how much they help you quit smoking.
