We all know that when it comes to breaking a habit there’s no easy road; that’s why using CBD to quit smoking could be a game-changer.Quitting a long-term habit requires serious dedication, and almost always requires help like replacing the poor habit with a healthier one, or using a patch or gum.
After all, according to the American Cancer Society, only 4-7% of people are capable of giving up smoking in any given attempt without medicines, or some other form of assistance.
In a 2013 study, researchers tested the efficacy of inhaled cannabidiol (CBD) on smokers who wanted to quit cigarettes. The study lasted a week and included 24 test subjects. Half the group was given CBD, and the other a placebo; when the test subjects felt the urge to have a cigarette, they were told to use the CBD or placebo inhalant provided to them first. In the end, the results were encouraging: The 12 participants who received CBD reduced the number of cigarettes they smoked by about 40%, while the placebo group saw no reduction in the number of cigarettes smoked.
