Tulsi leaves are known for their stress-relieving and detoxifying effects. Chewing them curbs tobacco cravings and purifies the blood, helping the body recover naturally.

Chew on Tulsi (Holy Basil) Leaves

Licorice root mimics the hand-to-mouth habit of smoking and helps reduce throat irritation caused by quitting. Its sweet, soothing flavor also reduces withdrawal symptoms.

Drink Licorice Root Tea

Mindful breathing calms the nervous system, reduces anxiety, and keeps your hands and mind engaged. Daily meditation helps manage stress and boosts willpower to resist cravings.

Practice Deep Breathing & Meditation

Keeping cloves or cinnamon sticks in your mouth can distract you during cravings. Their strong flavor stimulates your taste buds and suppresses the urge to smoke.

Eat Cloves or Cinnamon Sticks

Drinking lemon-infused water flushes out nicotine faster. The vitamin C content helps restore immunity and repair the damage caused by tobacco.

Stay Hydrated with Lemon Water

Physical activity releases endorphins that reduce nicotine withdrawal symptoms. A brisk walk, yoga, or light cardio boosts your mood and helps distract from urges.

Exercise Regularly
