I did try everything else though, gotta say my "best of the worst" is those nicotine lozenges, but I can't say I enjoyed them OR that they made me quit. I save them for airplane flights and etc.
I never tried Chantix or patches, but I did quit smoking for a year using the lozenges. My lungs felt great, my stomach not so much. After several months of continued use, I had frequent severe abdominal cramping and ......... I finally went back to smoking. I would still consider using them for short term use such as long flights, or maybe in countries where vaping was fully banned as well.
