How many people do you know that smoke? Have you ever kissed a person who smoked? You might as well kiss an ash tray. How many each year say I’m going to quit one of these days just wait you’ll see. Never happened.
Some friends even add up all the money their friend could have saved by just adding up the value of how many packs he or she smoked a day to show them how much they could have spent on something else they might like even more.
Many people who have bad habits spend a lot of money without realizing it or they just don’t care at the time.
When I worked at a gas station many years ago people would come in and ask if they could buy two or three cigarettes for a dollar. They said they couldn’t afford a pack but needed their fix for the day.
I’ve tried cigarettes. I don’t see how people can get addicted to it, but some say it calms them down. Others say they don’t feel hungry when they smoke.
I remember when I was working at this one place and one of my coworkers I was working with asked if I would trade breaks with her? I asked her why? I asked, “Is it an emergency?” She said, “No. I desperately need a smoke really bad.” I said, “No.” She got upset with me and started to curse at me. I told her to stop smoking and she wouldn’t be having her tantrum just cause things didn’t go her way.
I wish I knew about the following herbs to help her quit smoking, it really might of helped her out if she would of tried them. But she has to want to quit first.
Skullcap helps with withdrawals of smoking by calming the body, relaxing the mind, and reliving anxiety, and depression.
Another helper is St John’s Wort helps relieve symptom of opiate withdrawal and aids people trying to quit smoking, and calms the nervous system in general. Use a tincture of St Johns Wort which can be ingested.

Parrot’s Beak is another good herb for breaking that very bad habit of smoking. It helps with stress and anxiety. Parrot’s Beak helps with withdrawals of smoking by keeping you calm and relaxed.
Also, remember to be very careful that if you are pregnant with child it is best to wait till you are completely done breast feeding the baby before you start using these herbs to quit smoking. The effect that these herbs my have on a pregnant or breastfed baby is unknown.
For now, these are the few of the herbals I know of, but if I do find more, I will let you know.
I do have to add, if you are reading this and you have not decided yet if you are going to quit, please always take into consideration those around you when you are smoking because some have trouble breathing.
I thank you in advance that you are caring in that way. When done smoking please do not throw the cigarette butts out your car window or on the sidewalk.
