This writer took them for three years (then went back to cigarettes). We do not recommend the gum, as it prolongs the oral addiction. The patches work much better overall, as they taper you off and avoid severe withdrawal while not supporting the other habits, such as putting something in your mouth.

What are the dangers of long term addiction to Commit lozenges?
From the research that I have done, using the Commit lozenges does not stop you from being addicted to nicotine, it just replaces the means of getting the nicotine into your system from smoke inhalation to the lozenges. Some of the boards that I have visited have people who have been taking these for years! Clearly they are addicted to nicotine, and most of them are starting to notice that there are several side effects, namely: - Sever dental issues, apparently the sugar or the nicotine has a negative effect on the enamel in your teeth, and people speak of cavities, tooth loss etc. - Cost is clearly a factor, even with the high price of cigarettes the commit alternative, while better for your general health, is not always cheaper. 72 lozenges cost me $40. I can get 140 cigarettes for that price! - Swallowing the nicotine will constipate you, and several users experienced gastro issues after years of use. - You are also prone to having bad gas (been on them a week and I see it already!), which seems to affect single people more!! - Other users found that their nicotine intake went up, because they were able to take the lozenges when they might otherwise have not had a cigarette. Nicotine is a drug, and if you want to quit smoking you should also want to quit nicotine. Follow the directions, do not take the lozenges for more than the defined term (12 weeks tops) and you should have no adverse side effects other than feeling healthier, accomplished and pleased with yourself. This information is based on my personal research, I am not a doctor or any sort of medical person. Feel free to google "Commit addiction". There are some interesting postings out there.
