What's the "active ingredient" in Commit Lozenges?

Question

They are a "stop smoking" aid and I was wondering if anyone knew what kind of "medicine" is in it that stops cigarette cravings?
I checked the website but it was very vague on the subject of "how it works"
Thanks.

Answer 1

Nicotine. Same ingredient in cigarettes which when discountinued causes the withdrawal symptoms. Basically supplementing the nicotine orally, not allowing withdrawal to occur, and weaning yourself off until your body doesn't need the nicotine anymore.

Answer 2

The active ingredient in a Commit lozenge is nicotine. It is absorbed through the tissue in your mouth, which is good because you don't get the tar, carbon monoxide and other toxic substances found in cigarette smoke. However, nicotine in any form is addictive because it acts on nicotinic receptors in the brain. So, all of the "stop smoking" medications are "good", but still addictive.

Answer 3

The thing that makes cigarettes so addicting is nicotine. So this genius came up with the idea that, hey, if we can shove nicotine into people without them blackening their lungs, won't that be great? Since nicotine can seep through skin, be absorbed through the stomach, and infiltrate the respiratory system, you can get it in lozenge forms, slap-on-arm forms, even, although rarely, breathe-in types. Whatever, the application is simple. Get the addictive chemical into you in gradually decreasing amounts, and wean yourself from smoking to get the addictive chemical.

Answer 4

Nicotine. It allows you body to fulfill its physiologic dependence on it without all of the 5000 carcinogens that go into your lungs from cigarrette smoke

Answer 5
