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.

Yes that's what you are supposed to do with the gum but I could never do it and would get a full dose of nicotine in less than 5 minutes as I was chewing it. :-p.

With the lozenges I get that nicotine in 20 minutes or more as it's more time released.

Never knew it was used as a diet aide but can understand why it would work as I'll sometimes grab a lozenge when I feel like mindless snacking when not hungry.
