Hi everyone! I was wondering if anyone knows a natural remedy to stop smoking? My husband wants to stop (thank the lord! I have only nagged him for years... Btw nagging doesn’t work for this lol). About 6 years ago he took a doc recommend pill.. Safe to say that won’t be happening again with me around! So any suggestions would be very helpful I was thinking maybe acupressure if anyone has info on that as well.. Thanks all!

I got hypnotised. A bit expensive but it worked for me.
Yes we were thinking of that too! I used it when I badly hurt my knee so I’m a big advocate for that... We have had some friends use it as well and had success
Lol sorry for some reason I was thinking of acupuncture but I have heard that hypnosis works well too!!
Pepper essential oil
Really!? I have that! How do you recommend using it debbie ?
Courtney Holmes will look in my book & get back.
thank you debbie! You can pm as well if it is easier for you
Debbie Sheldon I’m interested in how to use pepper oil for my smoking husband too!
I've heard in combo with Frank EO.
Cold laser therapy
Stop all caffeine. Caffeine is a stimulant and nicotine has a calming effect. So when “up” they crave a calming agent (nicotine). Both caffeine and nicotine are pesticides.
Also, try using niacin in the flush form (nicotinic acid)!!
Start with a whole body detox. I did it by drinking 8.5 pH Kangen water
Hi fred! I actually give him my detox salt bath every week and it really has helped him cut down (3 cigarettes a day now) but he is not great with his water intake
Try giving him Kangen water. Its a game changer
Cbd oil
How does this help lol
Lick an ashtray. I put them down and never went back.
Or hypnosis/nlp.... Same principle. link something very unpleasant to smoking and you will quit.
Haha he didn’t lick an ashtray but he has tried just eating a cigarette trick but it didn’t work in the long term
My husband did hypnotism and it worked.
Hmmm I’m liking the sounds of hypnotism more and more... We are a law of attraction kind of family so I know he would be open to hypnotism.. tami how long did your husband go for?
Courtney only one session and it really worked.
really!? Ok I’m going to look into one in my area... İf you don’t mind me asking how much does it cost roughly?
Courtney Holmes my parents did it together. My dad was able to quit for 6 months following but it didn’t work for my mother (which is probably what contributed to my dad’s relapse) definitely worth a try
Courtney it was over 20 years ago. He responded to an ad in the newspaper.
mind over matter don't quit just don't smoke today if you tell your brain you are going to quit your brain tells you that you are not a quitter then makes you go into a got to have a cigarette mode as long as you tell your brain just for today. Today will turn into 12 years ago i tricked my brain thinking I was just not smoking today
And what did you do when you still had cravings? Do you still have cravings? Hoe long did it take keep tricking yourself? Thank you
keep hands busy and brain will follow every time I really wanted one I would say not today and drink a glass of water took mind off of it after a few days really wasn't bad there is no way I could smoke today after not smoking the smell is hard to be around funny I smoked 2 packs a day
Oh wow. Well done. I am a heavy smoker too. How did you handle stress?
keep busy find something you like to do i crochet 3 blankets
Thank you!
The patch helped my bro quit
Take him to a lung patients room. That should do it. And post pictures of what his lungs look like, and what his health will ultimately be if he continues. Takes 48 hours chemically. Will power and true motivation is how you do it. Wanting to be healthy. Oh, and cost out how much he spends in a month, and year on cigarettes. Paying to die I said to myself. Stopped 10 years ago cold turkey
Depends how stubborn they are. I’m a nurse who works in skilled nursing and for a asthma/allergy clinic and no matter how many examples and how many pts he’s been introduced to I cannot get any headway with my fiance
EFT Tapping, very effective, takes very little time and costs nothing. It's on YouTube, just follow along. I like Brad Yates and Nick and Jessica Ortner.
I actually use tapping as a tool in my practice but he isn’t very receptive to it at this point... But he is coming around more lol
Also acupuncture
I've heard of people having great results using bee pellets
I read that every time he craves a cigarette he should take a drop of Peppermint oil... İt affects the pleasure trigger in the brain... And replaces the nicotine desire
That is interesting I’m going to look into some research on that! Thanks sally!
I used hypnosis and thrive gum. Worked like a charm.
I have finally quit after 15 years of trying. Vitamin D and Garcinia Cambogia took away every craving for nicotine. Garcinia Cambogia is a natural serotonin releaser, so it does for us smokers, what nicotine does for us and gives us that "comfort" or "relaxing" feeling. I have had ZERO cravings or nicotine fits!! Please look into this.
Thank you I will look into it!
I had taken Garcinia Cambogia for weight management. I'll have to look into this!!
You really have to want to quit. If you do. It’s simple. Put the cigs down. Replace with something healthier. I chewed gum and zip ties. Yes I chewed on zip ties. Oh and flossing.

From one addiction to another.
I smoked for 25 years and have been quit for going on 2 years. To start with i used the patches and graduated to using the nicitine gum. One of the hardest things I've done but praise God I did it. Philippines 4:13 I can do all things threw Christ who gives me strength. That wasband still is what I hold on to.
Thank you all for the suggestion of the patch and nicotine gum but he wants to do it a natural way that doesn’t still use low doses of nicotine
Smoke pot frequently
From one addiction to another.
Kate Cisneros yeah, to an even more idiotic addiction. And I can say that because I smoked cigarettes for years.
Parasite cleanse when dealing with addictions/cravings.
Pinch of stevia under tongue. Don't know if this works, but what can it hurt!
It can hurt people with hypoglycemia
People always seem to dismiss this idea, but it was absolutely PARAMOUNT to my quitting. I read a book called the Easy Way to Stop Smoking by Allen Carr. He has a way of making you change your mind into realizing that smoking is not even something you want to do anymore, and that you want to rid yourself of it.... Because it's the truth. We just don't realize how gross and controlled we are, and how free and happy we can be but the book actually changes our mind. We don't think we are giving up something good, we realize we are getting rid of something bad.
. It's basically cognitive therapy and it has worked for literally millions. I can't say enough. And no, I don't get residuals from it. Lol
Check out the reviews on Amazon.
Black pepper essential oil on a toothpick to chew/suck on.
This is interesting. What is it about the oil?
Kate Cisneros apparently it helps remove the desire to have one
Nice! Have you tried this personally?
Kate Cisneros no. Never been a smoker. Just heard testimonies.
Well thank you for sharing then!
I’ve been hearing that CBD oil is helpful to break addictions including smoking.
Oh yeah? How?
Biofeedback and hemp/cannibidiol oil which brings the whole body back to homeostasis
