re: Using cough drops to overcome addiction

Are you saying it's the menthol or what? Seems like you'd want a replacement at least more enjoyable tasting than the item you're replacing.

It gives you a sensation that’s noticeable, so the trick is to train your brain to let that sensation be enough to satisfy the craving. Over time if you get a craving you’ll reach for a cough drop instead of a drink or a cig and then it becomes natural.
