What are some all-natural herbs and remedies to help quit smoking?

Most proven therapies for smoking cessation require medication, such as nicotine replacement therapy or substitution with a smoking-cessation drug such as Chantix, generically known as varenicline. One effective natural drug is cytisine, an alkaloid found in the seeds of the golden rain tree, reports WebMD.

Black pepper oil was reported by one study to reduce cravings for tobacco, according to Healthline. There is also modest evidence that Indian tobacco (lobelia inflata) is effective when used as part of a smoking cessation program, notes Drugs.com. A simpler way to ease cigarette cravings is to satisfy the oral fixation with hard candy and gum, suggests Healthline.
