To stop smoking is difficult, and many smokers cannot quit - and if they are doing - it is just for a small amount of time. Increasing numbers of people are getting into the natural method of doing things anymore, and using herbs to prevent smoking is an extremely popular method for smokers today. Those who have had the opportunity to quit smoking with using herbs as a preventive, swear by them as a successful aid. They assist in combating the withdrawal symptoms that every smoker faces as he tries to quit smoking. Among other things, the herbal cures result in positive mood swings and reduce the urge to light another cigarette.

One of the natural substances that can be used by people once they wish to quit smoking is Lobelia, or Indian tobacco, an old and controversial herb that has recently gain popularity to smokers who wish to quit the habit of smoking and cannot. Used for centuries as an expectorant that cleans the lungs, it was employed for asthma, bronchitis, whooping cough, or pleurisy. Many uses are associated with Lobelia - relaxants, antispasmodics, diaphoretics, reducing inflammations and pain, poultices, hyperactivity, easing muscle tension or convulsions - which are back in history until its recent popularity today. Many believe it makes the taste of regular tobacco "repulsive" while other naturalists use it to clam the nerves and relax your body muscles, easing mild depression. Lately, current evidence suggests the herb Lobelia can establish similar effects on the human body as nicotine, yet is not addictive helping get rid of the desire to smoke. There is trouble when it is overused, for example vomiting, drowsiness, weak pulse, and respiratory failure.

Smoking non-tobacco cigarettes seem like regular cigarettes and are available in many flavors like burnt sienna and menthol. They provide the same sensation while smoking as regular cigarettes but they are healthier because they do not contain nicotine or tar. However, you have to talk to your doctor before taking these or any herbal medicines, because most of them could have substances much like drugs. You must also eat plenty of raw or lightly steamed fruits and vegetables, increased daily water consumption, fruit juice, herbal tea, etc, to purge the nicotine. Try taking hot baths, whirlpool baths, and saunas. These make you feel better, and lower the urge to smoke. Another way to fight the craving for nicotine is to chew on a large flavored toothpick, or squirt juice into your mouth. Similarly, drinking herbal tea, which is produced from five different herbs, can help you to fight the need to smoke.
