U.S. regulators approved a nicotine lozenge that will be sold in stores along with gums and patches to help people quit smoking.

The over-the-counter Commit Lozenge provides smokers with a source of nicotine that helps them avoid cigarette cravings and withdrawal symptoms while they try to quit, maker GlaxoSmithKline said.
