I've been a heavy smoker for almost 60 years and have tried to quit numerous times, using all the methods out there. I finally tried lozenges for the 2nd or 3rd time and it's been working for 2 months now. I find myself getting much more done because I try to keep myself busy doing anything rather than smoking. I am probably spending as much money on the lozenges as I did on cigarettes, but I keep telling myself the lozenges are healthier for me than smoking. I have RA and can no longer do anything that requires me to use a needle. I have knee and back issues, but I try to walk when the weather is decent. The walking helps keep the weight off since I find myself eating more--the hand and mouth connection. I really feel that this time I'll make it. My good thoughts and wishes are with you and anyone else trying to quit. It is the hardest thing I've done in my life!
