Nicotine Lozenges, kicking the habit

Hi
I stopped smoking actual cigarettes around 5 years ago, 1st used vaping for a couple of years then stopped that and moved onto nicotine replacement lozenges. Problem is now that I'm hooked on those, and feel lost without one rattling around in my mouth. Now i pretty sure i could kick them if i could find a replacement with no nicotine in it. I've tried various different types of mints but none so far have really replicated the lozenges that can sit in the corner of your mouth for an hour plus without you feeling the need to chew it, its so minty it burns the skin inside your mouth or makes your mouth water so much you're dribbling from the corner of your mouth.

I'll keep looking and trying but just wondered if anyone had been in a similar situation and if they'd managed to find a placebo lozenge that was just a sugar free mint without the nic in it?

Thanks in advance

I wouldn't replace it with anything. Cold turkey was the only way i was able to give up nicotine.

Watching with interest. Ex smoker, vape, chewing gummer and now lozenges addict. Probably do just need to go cold turkey for a few days but keep putting it off.
