Herbs That Can Help You Quit Smoking – Quit Smoking Aids

Herbs offer a gentle and effective way to stop smoking. They work on many levels to reduce craving, soften the side effects of withdrawal and help your body heal. To understand why, let’s look at how people get addicted to nicotine.

In the book Thunderball, James Bond tells the beautiful Domino that he is the world’s greatest expert on giving up smoking. When she asks why, he tells her it is because he is done it so often. Which, of course, rather negates the whole boast.

I am sure you’ve met people who boast how easy it’s to quit smoking and then tell you how often they have done it. But why is nicotine addiction so powerful?

Physical addiction occurs when smoking alters brain chemistry to associate feelings of pleasure with the ingestion of nicotine. When the smoker stops smoking and the nicotine levels in the body drop, unpleasant withdrawal symptoms arise including irritability and craving for tobacco.

Another interesting part close to this issue. Given the powerful urge to light up arising from these symptoms, the best way to quit smoking is to have a system in place to handle them as they arise. You can take your pick from a host of stop smoking systems ranging from acupuncture to hypnosis.

Many successful ex-smokers swear by a herb-based approach. Nature offers a slew of herbs with various properties to ease the pain of nicotine withdrawal.

Take licorice, for example. This root has been used for centuries to relieve colds, coughs, and sore throats. And its detoxifying properties remove toxins from the body where they have built up over years of smoking. It also helps alleviate symptoms of depression and fatigue, both common with those fighting nicotine addiction.

Another herbal powerhouse is Nux Vomica which can help fight the food cravings that accompany nicotine withdrawal and also lower stress.

Then there’s black spruce which relieves coughs, headaches and stomach upsets, all common symptoms of nicotine withdrawal.

Herbs offer a gentle yet effective way to handle nicotine withdrawal symptoms and go a long way to helping the smoker quit his nicotine habit forever. The also work to heal your body after years of damage from the many poisons in tobacco smoke. And it is all done gently and naturally.

Given the range of herbs each with its own beneficial properties, it makes sense to use a proven holistic system rather than trying individual herbs. That way you can be sure you are getting the right herbs in the right doses.

Will quitting cigarettes smoking make me a more solid base runner (read description)? Alright basically I play baseball on my college team, and I smoke cigarettes. I’m a really fast runner and the fastest base runner on my team (granted, that's not saying much becasue we don't have many great runners). But I’m wondering if I quit smoking will it improve my running even more? I'm trying to get into as solid shape for next season as possible so I'm debating quitting smoking. How soon after quitting do your lungs start to get stronger? And how much faster do you think it’ll make me (I smoke about 1-2 packs a day). And also, I know this sounds bad but I really don't think I can do it without nicotine so I’m debating starting to chew tobacco since most of the guys on my team do it anyway, is this a good way to stop smoking? And does chewing negatively effect your performance (no cancer lectures please, just asking about athletic performance)?
