Although smoking cigarettes is generally harmful to your health, people have been smoking since 5000 BC and many people find it so difficult to quit smoking despite many alternatives available to combat the smoking habit. A study conducted in 2013 at the University College London revealed that Cannabidiol which is the second most active ingredient in marijuana can reduce cigarette addiction. It’s proven that CBD lessens the withdrawal symptoms of smoking cigarettes, thus making the quitting process easily manageable.

When one stops smoking, the brain constantly craves for reinforcements to compensate the reduced intake of nicotine. CBD elements combat that and allow for reduction of negative symptoms that come with withdrawal symptoms. Since the research findings are limited to only one study, it’s still not clear whether Cannabis is a proven solution to those who want to quit smoking.

Marijuana seems to be a natural alternative for people who want to quit smoking tobacco. Since nicotine releases the brain’s happy chemicals known as dopamine that causes an addiction, marijuana can also arouse dopamine chemicals without causing the harmful side effects that are associated with smoking cigarettes.

Marijuana is also the best option for those seeking ways to treat their addiction to heroin, opiates, tobacco, and other drugs. Marijuana can also be helpful in curbing the smoking addiction especially if one considers reasons why people smoke. Stress and Anxiety Relief many people smoke to reduce stress and anxiety. Cannabis is known to have elements that slow down the anxiety.

Additionally, there are three proven herbs that can reduce the nicotine craving, these include; Avena Sativa (derived from wild oats), Lobelia (a toxic plant that is consumed in tiny portions to fool the body system), and Garcinia Cambogia (that combats the weight gain that comes with quitting nicotine).

Although the previous studies on the topic are essential, there’s still more to be done so as to prove whether Cannabis can help reduce the effects of nicotine for those trying to quit smoking.
