Nicotine gum vs. lozenge! Memorization tips

[@thehighvaluecat9313]

Interesting, I'm quitting vaping due to developing asthmatic symptoms. I have a high nicotine tolerance, so it's nice to know the 10 pieces I consume a day is still a ways from the max 👍🏼.

[@tastys0ju98]

I tried using the 4mg gum for about 8 months. I still crave heavy

[@volairefides]

Right here with you!!

I'm a nonsmoker, I just found out that I got ADHD and I'm still anxious to approach for diagnosis but I think nicotine is somewhat effective for ADHD so I'm guessing nicotine lozanges might help me out untill I get the prescription for the adderall 🤔

[@SmallMike69]

Perform mg nicotine gum it on the package recommends 9 pieces a day

[@isaiahrandolph4732]

Im one week free of vaping I been using the nicotine lozenges, went from 3 a day, then 2 to 1, lowering my dose of nicotine seems to be better instead of going cold turkey cause I relapsed a few times but I’m done for sure now

[@Grond605]

The Thrive lozenges are the best.

[@nelsonraley]

Isn’t it going to depend entirely on nicotine dose within each piece? What if you’re comparing 8mg lozenges with 1mg gum?

[@zamarcha]

The most probable is that its the equivalent of 4mg of each, but good question !

[@A.holmes459]

Yeah definitely, this lady must have gone to “pharmacy school” in a mall

[@jabuhrer1]

Obviously she’s talking about Rx NRT in a pharmaceutical context. NRT gum and lozenges are only approved for Rx in 2mg and 4mg formulations. Since she’s talking about max dosages, you can assume she’s talking about the max approved formulation: 4mg. As usual, uneducated people like to think they’re smarter than the experts, only to reveal how ignorant they are.

[@justinhalen2126]

there is no max dosage. it's recommended for the average person... Keep in mind people in the USA are vaping around 50mg in a standard small vape pen (capped now at 20mg now in canada) , (more powerful vapes is usually between 3 - 24 mg, but the vapor is alot more in those).. so just 20 inhales a day would exceed the absorbed nicotine by an order of magnitude compared to 24 pieces of 4mg gum absorbed through your mouth with nicotine gum (which is a way less effective method of absorption)... so these nicotine cessations are not going to do anything for the vast majority of vapors.... in fact it doesn't work for most smokers either

[@SameAsAnyOtherStranger]

My 4mg nicotine lozenge instructions say 20 max per day. Which is four times more than I would use. But since there are 2mg lozenges, couldn't you have twice as many of those?

[@Mzee_gaming5]

Care to share your progress?im on 4 per day also and if you already stop using those lozenges,may i know how long did you use it

[@perkynson]

Depends the dose right?

[@ladyJustis]

Get the patches.. not the clear ones And a vape with 0% nicotine to break the hand to mouth habit that comes with it

[@michaeljohnson3845]

Geometry and method of action without any mention of potency of the the active ingredient are not comparable. This video is dangerous and should never be taken as medical advice. A medical review board would use this as evidence to enact immediate leave to conduct a full review. I have half a mind to submit an investigation request personally.

[@SarahPharmD]

This is not dangerous, if you look up the guidelines and package insert for both nicotine gum and lozenge.. it actually states the max amount of nicotine gum is 24 pieces in a day and max amount of nicotine lozenge is 20 pieces in day. This is just a method to help people remember. Strength is either 2mg or 4mg, but whichever one you use is dependent on how much you smoke and time you smoke etc.

@@SarahPharmD thank you!! U dont think he knows what hes talking about lol

[@sticksnstonespatriot1728]

Ghaye.

[@Butt--Head]

*That gum didn't work at all for me I couldn't keep it lit no matter how hard I tried & the patches were crap too all they did was rip the hairs off around my lips everytime I went to peel them off.*

[@Jupiter-td4kw]

Did you say hair around your lips?!you were not suppose to stick it on your mouth but i agree patches are not effective on most people ,the lozenges are though

[@Butt--Head]

@@Jupiter-td4kw how else are you supposed to keep from hitting a cigarette

[@fungushair6068]

Voooooom... right over their heads

[@chicofromph33nix64]

What lips are you talking about? That can make a huge difference if using the wrong type
