The mint-flavored lozenge takes about 20 minutes to dissolve and helps you to quit smoking comfortably by relieving the unpleasant symptoms linked with nicotine withdrawal symptoms and side effects such as headaches, anxiety and mood swings. The strength of the NRT lozenge you use will depend on what works for you. Generally, it is recommended that if you are a highly dependent smoker and smoking more than 20 cigarettes per day, that you start on the 2mg lozenge. If you have tried to quit smoking using the 1mg lozenge, and have failed, then try again on the 2mg lozenge. Otherwise, if you smoke less than 20 cigarettes per day, it is recommended you use the 1mg nicotine lozenge.
