Guest guest Posted January 3, 2001 Report Share Posted January 3, 2001 Lobelia is the herb that is used in commercial herbal stop smoking products.It is a respiratory stimulant and a respiratory relaxant.So it relaxes as it stimulates and helps your system not crave nicotine.( I researched it for myself and to quit smoking). Have I quit- not completely still working on it. Nasty Nasty habit and I hate every minute of it. Good Luck with it.

Guest guest Posted January 3, 2001 Report Share Posted January 3, 2001 I have definitely heard good things about lobelia as an aid to quitting smoking. I also have a couple friends who swear by coltsfoot. In fact, one friend started mixing coltsfoot in with her tobacco (she rolled her own) and just slowly increased the coltsfoot and decreased the tobacco. It took several months, but eventually she was smoking only coltsfoot and no tobacco, and could then manage to get rid of the physical habit of smoking something pretty easily since she wasn't addicted to the coltsfoot. I do know that coltsfoot, when smoked, is soothing to the lungs. I don't know if it would have a helpful effect in a tea or tincture -- does anyone else know?
