Nicotine patches and gum seem like a bad idea though... you keep the nicotine addiction with stuff like that.

Ya I have tried 6 other times without any "helpers" and it was just "too much" for me. I smoked 10 years, 2packs a day, constantly. Coz I work from home full time I would just sit here and chain them all day long. I had to use these little buggers. The docs I used to work with at one of my mainstream gigs said that quitting with a helper is better than not quitting at all -- I agree -- and I've weaned down to very little nicotine supplements a day. Soon enough I'll be nicotine free. My body doesn't deal well with physical addiction!
"mg" wise, 2 packs of camel lights a day is about 40 mg+ of nicotine a day, vs. the 2-6 mg I am taking in with these lozenges now. Not bad. Soon to be zero.
