Nicorette lozenges are one of the newest forms of nicotine replacement therapy products available. Nicorette lozenges come in a form of a sugar-free hard sweet candy. You suck the lozenges slowly in order to release the nicotine. The Nicorette lozenge has the nicotine absorbed through the lining of the mouth. Nicotine is absorbed quicker into the bloodstream and therefore reaches the brain much faster as well.

The Nicorette lozenge is available in two strengths, either 2mg or 4mg. If you smoke your first cigarette of the day within 30 minutes of waking up, then the stronger strength is more suitable for you. The nicotine lozenge is most suitable for smokers with a medium nicotine dependency and is not recommended for those who smoke more than one and a half packets of cigarettes a day. Nicorette lozenges are particularly efficient at helping with nicotine cravings and withdrawal symptoms as most of the nicotine contained in the lozenge is rapidly absorbed into the bloodstream and not lost. Quantities of nicotine will continue to be absorbed even after the Nicorette lozenge has been dissolved.
