Smoking is something that you can easily enter, but difficult to get out of. If you have been trying to quit smoking many times, but has just made your life hell without it, then maybe going “green” is something you could entertain.
Curious? It’s called herbal cigarettes.
What’s in Herbal Cigarettes?
Herbal cigarettes unlike conventional cigarettes, contain a variety of ingredients like red clover, jasmine, vanilla, marshmallow leaves, honey, apple, juice, and even cinnamon. Each stick does not have any form of nicotine at all.
Why Better?
What makes this better, apart from not containing any nicotine, is the ingredient red clover, which has isoflavones. Isoflavone is well-known to have Vitamin E and antioxidant properties, reducing your risk of cancer and heart diseases since it is said to stabilize and improve cholesterol level.
Apart from the red clover, anti-cancer agent, these types of cigarettes are made from herbs that are known to be completely safe. These tobacco-lookalikes are also free from nicotine and tobacco, in case you haven’t realized that, which is to say that when these herbs burned, no harmful chemicals will come to your body and out of the air. This is definitely one alternative as it offers the same stimulating effect that you crave in ordinary cigarettes, minus the nicotine.
Some of its popular brands Herbalette, Herbal Gold, Honeysuckle, Han Cao, Jambi and Honeyrose are available in the market with price ranging from $2.50 to $3.50 a pack depending on the brand.
Verdict
While you can see that there are many smokers who are quick to shun this cigarette, mainly because it’s really the nicotine that sparked their addiction in the first place or complain that it makes their throat itch, if you only realize the gravity of what your smoking addiction is doing to your health (and to those of your loved ones who take in their second hand smoke), then gradually shifting to herbal cigarette would be a no-brainer decision for you – even if it tastes weird. Of course if you can drop it altogether then that would be the optimal scenario, but since you are having problems stopping, this is really your next best thing.
But whether or not you are smoking the herbal cigarette or the traditional cigarette, do be mindful as to not let others inhale your puffed-out smoke regardless of its effect, out of respect.
