If you're thinking about quitting smoking--even if it's not the first time you've tried --Commit Lozenge delivers strong, lasting medicine to help stop cravings before they start. Commit 4 mg Lozenge doubles your chance of quitting, even if you've tried before.* And if you're worried about weight gain, you should know the Commit 4mg Lozenge can actually help reduce weight gain while you quit.** The Therapeutic Nicotine in Commit helps reduce your nicotine cravings and relieves some nicotine withdrawal symptoms to help you quit.  |  | Nicotine is a stronger addiction than most people realize--and cigarettes are a very efficient nicotine delivery system. Each puff sends nicotine to the brain within 10 seconds, activating areas of the brain that produce feelings of pleasure and reward by raising dopamine levels. Dopamine is the same substance involved in addiction like cocaine and heroin. So we have another puff. And another. Soon the brain's chemical structure actually changes. It becomes hooked into wanting more and more nicotine to make the effects last. When the brain stops getting the nicotine it's used to, we begin to feel withdrawal cravings--actually the brain craving nicotine. As this nicotine addiction sets in, the brain links everyday habits with smoking, boosting the role of cigarettes. Normal everyday activities begin to trigger the urge to smoke. Drinking coffee in the morning. Talking on the phone. Work breaks. Driving. So when you try to quit smoking, you're actually fighting a battle on two fronts: 1) physical--that is, nicotine addiction--and 2) habitual, the activities, moods and events linked with smoking. |  |  | Beating both nicotine withdrawal cravings and your smoking habits is the key to changing your behavior and starting a new life as a nonsmoker. Commit can help you do both. Let's start with cravings. Once you stop smoking, that's when your brain really starts screaming for nicotine. Your withdrawal cravings can actually intensify in the days after you quit. That's where Therapeutic Nicotine--like that in Commit--is proven effective. Absorbed through your mouth, the nicotine in Commit reduces your nicotine cravings and relieves some nicotine withdrawal symptoms, without the harmful tar or carbon monoxide found in cigarette smoke. Commit Lozenges help stop cravings before they start, increasing your chances of success by allowing you to focus your willpower on changing your behavior. That's where Committed Quitters comes in. Committed Quitters is an online resource that can give you an individualized stop-smoking plan to help change the behaviors that reinforce your habit. Enrolling is easy, and access is free for users of Commit Lozenge. You'll get a multiweek plan tailored to your specific needs, including tips to help you along the way, while Commit's strong medicine helps relieve withdrawal cravings. Commit plus Committed Quitters significantly increases your chance of quitting, even if you've tried before. |  |  | Even if you've tried to quit before, Commit Lozenge doubles your chance of quitting successfully.* You use Commit on a regular schedule throughout the day to help prevent cravings. Start with the right strength. Commit is the first and only stop-smoking aid that offers you different strengths based on how soon you smoke your first cigarette in the morning--a method leading experts believe is a better measure of nicotine dependence. Get an individualized stop-smoking plan from Committed Quitters. Your plan can help you overcome your unique barriers to quitting smoking--and increase your chances of success. For example, if you're used to having a cigarette with your morning coffee, you'll get specific advice on overcoming that habit and desire. Look for information in your package of Commit Lozenges, or visit CommittedQuitters.com. Follow the Commit 12-week plan. Commit helps your body gradually adjust to less nicotine. Over a 12-week period, you will use fewer and fewer lozenges, as shown in the chart. But remember, it's designed for a 12-week course of therapy. And for the first six weeks, use at least nine Commit Lozenges a day. Worried about weight gain? It's a real concern for many smokers. But it's small compared to the risks of smoking. And when you use the Commit 4 mg Lozenge, it can actually help reduce weight gain while you quit.** Want more ways to take off those extra pounds? Develop new, healthy habits like eating right and exercising. Have low-calorie, healthy foods handy, chew slowly when you eat, and drink lots of water while you're quitting. |  |  | Remember that nicotine lozenges are medicine and you've got to use them a certain way to get results.- Do not use more than one lozenge at a time or continuously use one lozenge after another. Doing so may cause hiccups, heartburn, nausea or other side effects.
- Do not use more than five lozenges in six hours, or more than 20 lozenges total per day.
|  |  | Commit Lozenge comes in two tasty flavors, mint and cherry. Both are available in a convenient Pop Pac for discreet use whenever, wherever. | *The Commit 4mg Lozenge doubles your chance success vs. placebo.
**A study has shown that smokers who quit using the Commit 4mg Lozenge gained less weight compared to those quitting on placebo.

 If you really want to quit smoking, you need this. |

In the twelve years I was a smoker I honestly believed it would be impossible to stop. I was so in love with smoking that I used to joke that I would quit when I was dead. When I finally decided that I was fed up with cigarettes once and for all (the cost, the stench, the heavy breath, the smoking bans, on and on) I gave this a try. Previously I had attempted to stop twice before, half-heartedly, using the patch and again with some sort of nonsensical herbal concoction. Both a waste of money. They just weren't strong enough for the chain smoker I was. I actually read reviews of the lozenge here and was convinced to try it. So I set my quit date and bought a box. It was a bit of a gamble since they aren't cheap but neither are cigarettes in NJ anymore. Does it work? Oh yeah, it works.
It doesn't just curb the craves it eliminates them. I went from needing two packs of cigarettes a day to having virtually no desire to even look at them anymore. I'm still stunned. They do work and they work magnificently. One thing I like about them, they dissolve very slowly in your mouth which actually helps to alleviate the oral fixation in the absence of a cigarette.
But be warned: Nothing replaces will power. You really need to want to quit. The lozenge is not a magic bullet but if you do decide to quit they are your best weapon. There is, however, a risk of developing an addiction to lozenges so it's incredibly important to FOLLOW DIRECTIONS and wean yourself off them according to the schedule provided. 4mg is a very strong shot of nicotine. Also if you swallow them or bite them you'll be treated to some very nasty heartburn and hiccups.
Basically, if you follow the program and reinforce the desire to get rid of the smokes with a support group you WILL quit smoking. Trust me. |

I smoked heavily for over 40 years and was convinced that I would smoke til the day I croaked. Having been a veteran of several near-quits, you could say I was very skeptical about this (and all the other) "smoking cessation" products on the market.
I tried the gum and it couldn't DENT my habit. The patch seemed stupid to me -- who needs Nicotine when they're asleep? I looked into Zyban but discovered that it doesn't interact well with alcohol and is NOT recommended for those of us who enjoy a cocktail. Or two. The nasal spray was about as palatable as a Crisco sandwich, and burnt the bejesus outta my schnozz. ("Hey folks, here's a good idea! Let's all snort a line of Emeril's Essence. BAM!")
Even these lozenges are not without their drawbacks. If you suck on (or chew) these puppies you end up with a sour belly and enough flatulence to attract a flock of migrating Canadian geese. But when used as directed (ie let them dissolve sloooooowly) these things do make the cravings subside. Considerably.
So has it worked? I hope so. Ain't no such thing as a miracle cure and if you're not motivated, nothing's going to help. While I am reluctant to say I've officially quit, I can tell you that it's been over two weeks and so far, so good. No smokes yet. Every day it gets a little easier, and this time I'm 80% convinced I can make it stick.
All in all, you could do worse than to give these things a shot. With the free shipping, they're a lot cheaper here than they are at your local drugstore. For added savings buy the 4mg versions -- if you're a light smoker, just bust `em in half. Now all I gotta do is go on a damn diet to shed all the new buckets of lard I am acquiring, but that's another story. At least my lungs will be clear when I expire from rank obesity.
Good luck to all. |

| I've smoked for over 30 years and now I am using commit lozenges to quit smoking. They really work. Whenever I want a cigarette I just suck on a lozenge instead and the desire for a cigarette goes away. I use the lozenge and QuitNet.com for a support group. I have now been quit for 11 months and I'm a smoker who no one thought would ever be able to quit. Give them an honest try you might be pleasantly surprised by how much they help you quit smoking. |
Powerful aid, but you better have your mind made up

As with any aid to quit smoking, the real test is yourself, is your mind truly made up to quit?? Mine was, I work out on a treadmill and while I still smoked, well into the workout my heart rate was topping off at about 140 bpm, after quitting and starting on the Commit program, it wasn't long my heart rate during the same workout was down to 128!! This along with the high cost of cigerettes, not to mention overall health, was enough for me not to wait for some iron lung device 5 yrs from now. I am 52 now and have smoked for some 35 odd years so this was no small task for me. My point is, my mind was made up, and with the aid of this lozenge, which by the way really does take care of the nicotine withdrawal, and was a very powerful aid in helping me to quit. I am in the 9th week now of the program without a cigerette and I have no desire for one, I have cut back on the lozenges to the point where I don't even much think of them anymore, pop one in just to stay with the program. Lolipops help with the fixation to have something in my hand. All in all I give this item a two thumbs up, but don't expect them to do it for you! One other thing, as with anything, don't blame the lozenge for dependancy on it, you can get addicted to just about anything, just cut back gradually like they tell you, and stick with the program.
One last thing, amazon beat my local grocery store, a LARGE chain by the way, by $10 per box!

| I smoked two packs a day and had done so for the last 30 years. I used the 4 mg. lozenges and quit in one week. That was 5 months ago. I have no cravings now at all. I only had to use 3 or 4 lozenges a day. They take the craving away very quickly. |
