On Christmas Day, 2011, I ran out of nicotine lozenges. That was it. It’s over. A very expensive and annoying addiction to nicotine lozenges, started nearly 3 years ago when I got this hare-brained idea that: if people who stop smoking gain weight because they don’t have nicotine, can people lose weight if they take nicotine?
It took thousands of dollars and a nasty addiction to the stuff – including a delightful panic attack – to come to the conclusion: Nicotine lozenges will not help you lose weight. Don’t even try.
I am spelling this out because I still get traffic to the posts where I wrote about this in my enthusiastic, early trials on the stuff. While it did have an early effect of helping to stop overeating, the addictive nature of nicotine began to overshadow the endeavor as the effect on overeating diminished, leaving me with no positive effect on my weight loss – and an expensive addiction to boot.
Maybe you want to try anyway.
Like Dirty Harry, all I can say is: “do you feel lucky?” Substitute nicotine for 44 magnum in the clip that follows.

I am stunned!!!!!!!!!! But far be it for me to be shocked at this idea. I am the guy that lost weight by drinking coke and smoking cigarettes whenever I felt hungry. Worked though….but only while I drank coke and smoked cigarettes.
Was it Churchill that said: ‘Americans will always do the right thing once all other options have been exhausted?’
Im a New Zealander though!!!!!!!
