Are you one of the 42 million Americans who smoke? Have you tried quitting without success? You’re not alone. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, more than 42.7 percent of adult smokers tried to quit in 2012. Although quitting can be challenging, there are numerous health benefits. Ditching the habit reduces the risk of lung cancer, heart disease, stroke, infertility and respiratory issues, such as wheezing and shortness of breath.
With so many reasons to quit, today’s nationally observed Great American Smokeout event is a great opportunity to stop smoking. And, homeopathic medicines can help you kick the habit. You can build your own smoking cessation kit with these single medicines:
- Lobelia inflata 6C: When tobacco cravings hit, Lobelia inflata can help fight the urge.*
- Nux vomica 30C: Often quitting smoking can increase irritability and a desire to eat. Nux vomica can offer relief for these symptoms. *
- Ignatia amara 30C: Ignatia amara can help relieve symptoms of nervousness or hypersensitivity to everyday stress. *
- Argentum nitricum 30C: If quitting leaves you feeling hurried or nervous, try Argentum nitricum.*

Is caladium and avena sativa also available and/or useful to break nicotine addiction?
Hi Suzanne, Avena sativa and Caladium are both available to order on BoironUSA.com. Check out the “Stop Smoking” section of the Boiron Medicine Finder for recommendations on symptomatic relief to support smoking cessation.
How many tablets of each do I take each day
Hi Gina, the recommended and labeled dosage is 5 pellets 3 times a day.
hi can the above mentioned medications all be taken at the same time for smoking cessation?
Hi Amy,
Yes. All Boiron oral tablets or pellets can be taken together or separately. It can be difficult to have 20 pellets in the mouth at one time, so for more than 10 pellets, it makes sense to wait until the first two medicines have dissolved before taking the next ones.
Thanks!
are there any side effects?
Hi Becky,
Homeopathic medicines above 4C have a low risk of side effects and no contraindications. They can safely be taken with other conventional medications and are sometimes recommended to complement other treatments.
Thanks!
