Tobacco Alternatives




If you desire to leave the tobacco habit, and having a really hard time, the addiction is most likely psychological and not just physical. Psychological addiction is always much harder to break due to the need for the comfort that the act of lighting up and drawing on a cigarette gives to so many smokers.

People enjoy smoking in spite of the extremely well known health hazards tobacco poses because it is a calming comfort in times of stress. This is the main reason why so many people are addicted and why tobacco continues to be a major leading cause in health issues; ranking right up there with obesity.

There are some alternatives that may help you, the smoker, finally break the nicotine habit while still getting the psychological fix.

Herbal alternative:

One such herb called wild dagga, or 'Lion's tail'. It has been used as a tobacco alternative, as well as a cannabis alternative.

Other smoking blends

Another alternative is smoking blends called by various names like ‘Devil’s weed' smoking blend, 'Yuba Gold' smoking blend, 'Demonillia' smoking blend, 'Buddah's' blend, and hundreds of other alternatives that can give a very satisfying smoke without all the tar, nicotine, and the hundreds of other nasty chemical additives added by the companies to the tobacco or sprayed on the paper to make it even more addictive.

Most doctors will tell you that any smoking is bad for you; it is guaranteed that tobacco smoking is 100% bad for you. If you really want to quit smoking tobacco, but need that psychological comfort that the act of smoking a cigarette gives to you then try any of these tobacco alternatives.

E-cigarette

An electronic cigarette or "e-cigarette" is a battery-powered device that provides inhaled doses of nicotine by delivering a vaporized liquid nicotine solution. It is an alternative to smoked tobacco products, such as cigarettes, cigars, or pipes.
