The active ingredient in nicotine gum, nicotine patches, and vapes is... guess what... nicotine! It isn't a substitute at all, it just eliminates the smoke and associated tar.

There are a variety of drugs used to assist breaking the nicotine addiction (e.g. certain antidepressants, certain antihypertensives, chantix).

Some preliminary work is in process on a nicotine vaccine which would block all effects of any nicotine taken into the body.

Is not a nicotine substitute?

A nicotine substitute refers to products designed to help individuals quit smoking by providing a controlled dose of nicotine without the harmful effects of tobacco. Examples include nicotine gum, patches, and lozenges. If something is described as "not a nicotine substitute," it means it doesn't contain nicotine or serve the purpose of alleviating cravings for nicotine, potentially leading to a different approach for managing smoking cessation or addiction.


What is worse nicotine from smoking or nicotine from a substitute?

Nicotine itself isn't especially bad for you. It is the other ingredients in smoke: coal tars, environmental and agricultural chemicals, and carbon monoxide, that make smoking dangerous. That being the case, you are far better off with a substitute.

You have been addicted to thrive nicotine lozenge 2mg for 4 years is it harmful?

yes, nicotine is harmful, do search on effects of nicotine Clearly, nicotine lozenges are better than smoking. But it's still using nicotine which isn't an ideal condition. Try substituting sugar free hard candy in the same flavor as your nicotine lozenge. One way to do this easily is to cut down to only using lozenges after meals and perhaps in the morning. This will equate to a few a day. Do this for a couple of weeks, then substitute the hard candy for these times as well. When ready to get off the hard candies, substitute water instead. And for gosh sakes get some exercise. It makes the process easier.
