i give it 3/5 because even though it helped me abstain from smoking completely im still a nicotine addict! but due to recent health deterioration and my obvious inability to quit i am happy to take my chances with nicorette rather than smoke again.
works better than the gum in the sense that it actually satisfies craving, rather than just taking the edge off . once you get used to the slower delivery the sensation is pleasant enough to keep from relapse to smoking.
addictive. using for 4 months now and still havent been able to reduce intake. this is a smoking substitute rather than quit aid. in the beginning it made my mouth dry but now i'm used to it.

I am averaging 10 tabs per day (as opposed to 20 smokes). Each day gets a little easier, but having the Tab's keeps you "honest"... plus - you can "smoke" indoors and at dinner. Helps cut down on drinking - I drink less when I can't (don't) smoke. Caution... DO NOT CHEW AND SWALLOW... causes hiccups and reflux BIGTIME...
Day 11 - Working well - Zero cigarettes since day 1 using the microtab. I'd still kill for a smoke - but now it is only people I realy hate, as opposed to anyone in sight !!! Still hard - but do-able (Smoker for 22 years)
Taste - a savage combination of pepper & Talc' Powder. Took a few days to get used to. I am convinced that the taste will ensure I also quit the Tab's too !
