| how on gods green earth do folks use these commit lozenges on a regular basis. I decided to pick up a box of Commit lozenges, partly because I had not tried Commit before and partly becuase I had not tried cherry before (only the mint). These things are distgusting, they are horribly slimey in your mouth and they don't taste anything like cherry. more like a sucetes or something I don't know. I figured I'd use them to supplement my snus and stonewall, but I don't think I'll be using these things too often, very hard to build a ritual around soemthing that s so damn unappealing. Maybe if I salted them and placed them in a teabag? On second thought, no, just no. Maybe next I'll try the ice fruit flavored nic gum. I feel the need to find soemthing that might replace stonewall if it's pulled off the market. Why the H*LL doesn't big pharma just admit that they aren't intending folks to wean themselves off thier products and start making the stuff more appealing, I want a vanilla java flavored cig shaped candy stick, a least 15 good flavors of non-tobacco zero tsna snus, and a nic laced temporary tattoo! guess we all gota have dreams The commit was a nightmare |

| Jason, you used the same descriptor I've used in discussing the lozenges - slimy. I have no recollections of the taste, I couldn't get past the unpleasant sensation of having them in my mouth. Have you considered the prescription inhaler? If you have insurance that covers it you could pick up a box of those to try. I'm a bit partial to the inhaler as compared to the other 'official' NRT products. |

| Brilliant, Jason. Just brilliant. A nic-laced temporary tattoo. Man, that's my kind of thinking. I was raised, literally, in a house adjacent to Thomas Edison's winter lab in Fort Myers and my dad worked briefly with Edison. Let's you and I move to Menlo Park, N.J., and start development! The world needs an alternative to Ruyan cartridges ... I've started design now of a skull and crossbones tattoo .. and another that's just a heart with "I Love Nic" in it. |

| I tried a free sample tube of the cappuccino commit lozenges. It was disgusting. Like a slimy antacid tablet. It didn't taste much like any kind of coffee at all, a slight tingling in my mouth didn't really kill my nicotine craving. I'd definitely go with a gum if I had to choose between the two, at least the gum didn't cover my whole mouth in unpleasantness. |

| I have actually developed a taste for the "fruit chill" Nicorette gum... Trident just seems so tame these days... I tried the cappuccino flavored Commit lozenges as well... horrible burning, flavor, and texture... 10x worse than the old Nicorette gum. I have a co-worker who loves them though... to each his own!(?)

| I actually purchased the cherry in a thought of quiting smoking. They are still in the box, sealed in a drawer somewhere. Thats as far as I got! I figured i would use them on a long flight or something, nope! They are still there!

| One of my old editors went on nic lozenges five years ago -- and is still on them and about 80 pounds heavier. |
