I'm a bit like Force, I started with the spray and moved to the lozenges. I really liked the spray and used it for about 4 years before I switched to the lozenges. I can't see myself giving up the lozenges any time soon but the way I see it, anything is better than smoking or vaping and I'm happy for myself, because I was really badly addicted. I gave up and then started again and quit again about 10 years ago. I'd had about a dozen attempts prior to that, and I smoked both ciggies and weed for over 20 years.
