Yes it's OTC and I use the lozenges. I quit smoking off an on for 10 years and always would go back due to my nicotine addiction and find it works wonders for when I'm craving a cigarette which I still do even though I quit smoking well over a year ago. Don't know what it is about nicotine but it calms me down and keeps me focused so can understand your dilemma believe me! Good luck

Thanks for the tip. I'm going to the grocery today, so I'll pick up some of the gum. Are you supposed to let the saliva sit under your tongue, as were the directions years ago? I was told many years ago by a professional football player during summer training camp that he used nicotine as a diet aid ... helped suppress his appetite IIRC. Swallowing tobacco juice from a chaw he said helped shrink his stomach, too.
