Lozenges make me cough

[Tedious112]

Anyone use the little mints and find they gave them a dry tickly cough. Seem to do this to me. Just wondered. Doesn't bother me too much and as they are helping keep me off the cig goes I'm sticking with them for now.

Hiya tedious, it's great the mints are helping you, sorry didn't use them so can't comment on the cough but it also could be part of the healing process. Stick with it and you'll get there one day at a time. Well done😊x

Aup Ted, its great to see you again AND off the cigs tooo Please let me know when you quit and I will sort a Winners badge out for you and add you to the Wall of Winners

For one thing Ted, try to drink plenty of water/fluids cos this may help with your dry tickly cough

Now then, lozenges these are an excellent form of NRT but they are so many different types PLUS, there are different strengths of nicotine too When I first started using them, I got the 4mg ones, toooo flippin strong for me and if I remember they gave me a bit of a cough too Sooo, I went onto the 2mg ones, a lot better and no flippin cough then down to the 1mg ones and now dont have them at all

Stick at it Ted, cos your doing flippin great pal

PS, I tried them really minty ones and thought, I could quite easily get addicted to these soooo, I went a shopping at my local super store, erm, Dasa I think its called and found that they make there own tried them spot on plus flippin cheaper toooo

You take care now Ted and like our lovely Briarwood has said, stick with it and take every day as it comes Ted if you need any help, just you come on here and we will try to help you
