Hello, I am 38 days quit! I’m using nicotine lozenges and wonder if anyone uses them. No matter how I use these, I end up with this chalky white stuff on my lips and around my mouth. I look in the mirror and find I just left my doctor’s office and had this all over my mouth! First, why didn’t he question it and second why didn’t he say something. This happens a lot. I’ve tried all the products and these lozenges work the best but this is so annoying and embarrassing. Any thoughts?

Welcome aboard @Sherberry and congratulations on quitting smoking.  I didn't use lozenges but we do have others that have so hopefully they'll be able to give you a clue on that. Just out of curiosity,  have you tried calling the manufacturers helpline?

Hi @Sherberry & welcome about Quit Train & congrats on being over 1 month quit! That's a fabulous start.

Like Jillar I've never used Lozenges. I do know people who have but I have never heard them complain of this issue. Perhaps there's someone on this forum that can chime in with some better info. for you.

 

Hope you stick around. There is a lot of great quit info here for you and support from other quitters.

Hey there. Congrats on your quit! I did use lozenges, but I did not experience the white patches you are describing. How many per day are you using? Snd have you tried switching brands?

Hi, all brands and all different sizes. The minis aren’t bad but I still get the white ring around my mouth. they seem to me to be tacky, sticky. My mouth gets really dry and the sticky white stuff as it dissolves sticks to the roof of my mouth. One container of minis lasts two days. I high hopes of quitting these too soon

About us

QuitTrain®, a quit smoking support community, was created by former smokers who have a deep desire to help people quit smoking and to help keep those quits intact.  This place should be a safe haven to escape the daily grind and focus on protecting our quits.  We don't believe that there is a "one size fits all" approach when it comes to quitting smoking.  Each of us has our own unique set of circumstances which contributes to how we go about quitting and more importantly, how we keep our quits.
