I had quit smoking cigarettes about 2 years ago, but then got addicted to the nicotine lozenges, still taking them 2 years later. I decided I needed to find a substitute 'lozenge' to help me quit the nicotine lozenges, and these ginger candies are totally doing the trick. They are so good! I am now almost quit the nicotine lozenges after only a couple weeks on the ginger candies :) And they're actually healthy for me! Love the healthy organic ingredients!
