The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recently proposed a ban on the sale of menthol cigarettes and all flavored cigars. This effort aims to curb youth smoking and reduce the amount of tobacco-related fatalities, the leading cause of preventable death in the U.S. Leading health officials and civil rights groups praise this step towards a healthier future. They say that the tobacco industry has aggressively marketed to Black communities and caused severe harm as a result, including higher rates of smoking-related deaths. 

A statement from April 28th, 2022, said that the proposed rules should help adult smokers quit. Ideally, banning flavored tobacco products like menthol cigarettes and flavored cigars will prevent children from becoming the next generation of smokers. The evidence is clear that these types of tobacco products establish addictiveness and cause harm. The Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act prohibited all characterizing flavors, besides tobacco and menthol, in cigarettes in 2009. They are also aiding the efforts to reducing the death rate from cancer by 50% over the next 25 years.

Although the ban wouldn’t take effect for another couple years, the FDA hopes that the ban will save lives and reduce chronic illness. In the U.S., about 480,000 people per year die from tobacco-related illnesses. The FDA will accept public comments for the next few months and then write a final regulation. Analysts expect that court challenges from the tobacco industry may set back the start date of the ban. 

Menthol Cigarette Use In the U.S.

In 2019, 18.5 million American smokers 12 years and older used menthol cigarettes, according to the FDA. The minty taste and aroma can counteract the irritation from standard, unflavored tobacco products. The minty flavor makes it easier for people to start smoking, and it increases the appeal of cigarettes to younger users. Additionally, menthol enhances the addictive properties of nicotine, making it more difficult for smokers to quit. 

If the FDA ban on menthol cigarettes and flavored cigars went into effect, it could reduce the amount of people who smoke by 15% within 40 years. That would ultimately result in 654,000 fewer smoking-related deaths. The FDA also notes that up to 238,000 of the prevented deaths would be among Black smokers. Surveys indicated that 85% of Black smokers use menthol products, which exceeds the 30% of white smokers that use menthol products. The proposed rules will hopefully advance health equity by reducing tobacco-related health disparities, according to health experts. 

Flavored Cigar Product Standard To Reduce Youth Risk

When companies disguise the flavor of tobacco, smoking becomes more attractive to younger people. Strawberry, grape, cocoa, fruit punch, and menthol flavors make cigars easier to use, especially among youth. Surveys indicate that more than half a million youth in the U.S. use flavored cigars. In recent years, more young people tried a cigar every day than a cigarette. If the ban goes into action, the goal is to reduce the appeal of cigars and cigarettes to youth and young adults. This would decrease the likelihood of experimentation, nicotine dependence, and progression to regular use. 

It’s important to understand that the FDA cannot and will not penalize smokers for using menthol cigarettes. Additionally, local law enforcement agencies aren’t empowered to enforce FDA regulations. Instead, the FDA enforcement efforts aims to target manufacturers and sellers of menthol cigarettes and flavored cigars. These rules, however, will be subject to public comment before being finalized. Details about listening sessions and opportunities to comment will be available on the FDA’s website, should you be interested. 

In the peer-reviewed journal, Tobacco Control, a study to be published looked at a Canadian menthol ban. If the menthol cigarette ban went into effect in the U.S., more than 1.3 million additional smokers would quit, including the 381,000 African Americans, according to the leader of the study. Let’s see how this unfolds, but we can only hope that it helps reduce tobacco-related illness and death for people in the U.S.

Smoking is a terrible habit, yet it is an extremely popular millions of people do it around the world. According to a CDC estimate, over 35 million Americans over age 18 smoke cigarettes. That is roughly 16% of the population, which is a decreased number from the 20.9% that smoked in 2005. People who smoke even know that it is bad and want to quit, while others who smoke live by the “you only live once” philosophy.

Because the chemicals in cigarettes are so toxic, smoking remains the leading cause of lung cancer. Smoking can even increase one’s risk of developing asthma or bronchitis. Even if a person quits smoking, he/she can suffer the effects of the harmful chemicals. Luckily, we stumbled upon an amazing drink that can help curb the side effects by cleaning nicotine and tar from the lungs.

This drink is all natural and can greatly reduce a person’s risk of lung cancer or lung diseases. The turmeric, garlic, and ginger in this drink work to fight inflammation that may be in the respiratory system. Curcumin, the active ingredient in turmeric, can actually inhibit cancer cell growth. And the ginger helps soothe your chest and throat with its antibacterial properties. You can find the ingredient list and instructions below.

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons turmeric (powder or freshly grated)
• 1 small piece of ginger root
• 1 liter of water
• 1 cup garlic cloves, peeled (not minced)
• ½ cup agave or grade B maple syrup

Instructions

• Add the water to a large pot and bring to a boil. When the water is boiling, add the rest of the ingredients and continue simmering for 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and allow it to cool.
• Strain the liquid through a mesh strainer into a glass jar, or multiple glass jars. You can store this in the refrigerator.
• You should drink 2 tablespoons of this mixture on an empty stomach in the morning, and after your last meal at night. This will help with the natural cleansing of the lungs.

While smoking tobacco has been viewed differently over the years, it has been understood for some time that it can cause major health problems such as heart disease, lung cancer, and even erectile dysfunction. According to the American Heart Association, roughly 25 million men and over 21 million women in America smoke cigarettes, and nearly 1 in every 5 deaths is cigarette related.

Nicotine, which is the naturally occurring, addictive ingredient in the tobacco plant, is the thing that keeps smokers addicted. When a person inhales tobacco smoke, it directly enters the lungs and nicotine gets released into the bloodstream, which makes it travel to the brain in seconds. Nicotine increases the release of dopamine, which is a chemical that improves your mood and feelings of pleasure. Smoking tobacco can then make you feel good, which is why people become addicted. Since smoking cigarettes negatively affects your health, here are 6 natural remedies to help you quit.

#1: Exercise

Exercise can help relieve the body of stress and help take the mind off smoking tobacco. When you’re exercising, your focus is not on smoking, rather, you concentrate on the way you feel. Exercise helps to boost the body’s production of endorphins, which improve one’s mood and decrease the desire and need for tobacco.

#2: Acupuncture

Acupuncture also helps release endorphins by using certain pressure points. It may help to relieve anxiety and increase overall wellness. Placing the needles in certain points actually neutralize stress hormones, which the body releases into the bloodstream when stressed.

#3: Do a Cleanse

Taking a biochemical approach to repair the body is a great natural remedy that can aid one’s path to quitting tobacco use. First one must detox, repair the damage, and then care for the body. Remove tobacco or mind altering substances, caffeine, or sugar from your diet. Stick to plant-based foods that provide the nutrients you need for recovery because a poor diet can lead to tobacco cravings. Additionally, refrain from hanging around people who smoke tobacco.

#4: Drink More Water

Nicotine is addictive and hard to quit because it lives in your body as a toxin. It can be hard to flush out of your system, but drinking lots of water can help rid your body of nicotine because water is a natural detoxifier. Drinking the recommended 8-10 glasses of water every day can help detoxify your body. You can also drink half your body weight in ounces of water to be properly hydrated. If you weight 150lbs and divide that by 2 to get 75, you should be drinking 75oz of water every day.

#5: Eat More Ginger & Ginseng

Ginger and ginseng can help you on your path to quitting tobacco use. Both of these herbs help soothe the digestive system, and combating nausea, which commonly occurs during withdrawal, may help you overcome the urge to smoke.

#6: Where There’s A Will, There’s A Way

There has to be a will to stop smoking cigarettes. The individual needs to commit to stop smoking and use the herbal remedies in this list to avoid continued tobacco use.

Nicotine is one of the most highly addictive-and deadly-substances in the world. In fact, Cornell University describes nicotine as a “super toxin” that’s more lethal than strychnine, arsenic and diamondback rattlesnake poison.

Why it’s addictive?

People get addicted to nicotine by smoking cigarettes made with black leaf tobacco. Addiction experts claim that kicking the nicotine habit can be as difficult or harder to quit than heroin.

As deadly as nicotine is, its chemical structure is virtually the same as the neurotransmitter responsible for the release of dopamine, the brain’s way of using a pleasant sensation to remind us that we want something. In its own way, the release of dopamine is a survival mechanism to help keep humans alive. We feel better when we eat, drink, get praise from family and friends. We can also feel better when we drink, smoke, shoot drugs. Dopamine doesn’t just trigger these sensations; it reminds us of the need to indulge them. Dopamine doesn’t distinguish the difference between a good behavior or a bad behavior.

Health Effects

According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, smoking causes or creates increased risk for:

• 90% of lung cancer deaths in men and 80% of lung cancer deaths in women
• an increase in coronary heart disease by 2 to 4 times,1,5
• an increase in stroke by 2 to 4 times,1,6
• an increase in the likelihood of men developing lung cancer by 23 times,1
• an increase in the likelihood of women developing lung cancer by 13 times,1 and
• dying from chronic obstructive lung diseases (such as chronic bronchitis and emphysema) by 12 to 13 times.
• Fertility problems
• Premature births, low birth weights and Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS)

Nicotine Replacement Products

There’s a lot of money spent advertising nicotine replacement products. Whether it’s gum, a pill, or a patch, it’s all the same-a pharmaceutical answer to the body’s natural defenses.

Most nicotine replacement use a derivative of nicotine in its formulas. Using nicotine to quit nicotine doesn’t make sense. It’s also why use of these products has such high failure rates, as well as create transferred addictions from cigarettes to the nicotine replacement product.

Healthy Ways to Quit Smoking

70% of smokers want to stop. And while the body can be 100% free of nicotine after 72 hours, it’s the mental and emotional triggers that usually cause someone to start smoking again. It can take an extra 21 days for your body to completely adjust to being nicotine-free.

Here are some ways you can quit smoking for good:

• Do not skip meals, especially breakfast. Skipping meals triggers spikes in blood sugar, which can trigger dopamine and craving…for anything, including cigarettes.
• Watch caffeine intake. Nicotine can double the elimination rate of caffeine from the body, so after smoking, you may feel jittery if you maintain caffeine intake levels.
• Try drinking cranberry juice in the first 3-5 days after quitting smoking. It helps to stabilize blood sugar while your system is cleansing itself of nicotine.
• Lobelia tea is a great tea to drink while detoxing from smoking due to a similar nicotine-like effect on the body without the actual harmful effects of nicotine.
• Licorice Root tea is another tea that is good to drink while overcoming cigarette addiction.
• Hops, Magnolia Bark, and Wild Lettuce are also good herbs to help with healing from cigarette smoking.
• Take Sea Salt baths to help draw toxins from the body.

Tabernantha Iboga is a wonder plant, native to Africa. It is a powerful therapeutic and hallucinogenic herb. Today it is the most potent plant for purposes of naturally treating drug addictions from:

• Heroin
• Cocaine
• Alcohol
• Opiates
• Methamphetamines
• Nicotine

In smaller doses, the plant also serves as a stimulant. Iboga was used by African tribal hunters to maintain their alertness. The supplement acted as a mild stimulant.

The Iboga plant is a perennial rainforest plant that grows in African rainforests, mainly in Central Africa. The plant has small green leaves, white and pink-colored flowers and produces an orange-colored fruit.

African forest people, especially those of the Bwiti religion in Cameroon, Gabon and the Republic of the Congo, have been using the plant in ceremonial rituals for centuries.

African natives where the plant grows chew the bark of the root for therapeutic and ritualistic purposes. When chewed, the root is bitter in taste, and causes an anesthetic-like sensation in the mouth.

Tabernanthe Iboga for Drug Treatment

Drug addiction in the United states crosses all boundaries and includes all races and ethnicities. While the US constitutes for only 5% of the world’s population, over 50% of the world’s drugs are consumed here.

Drug rehabilitation centers in the U.S. are using drugs to cure drug addiction. Drugs should not be used for drug addiction treatment. This is just putting more drugs into the body. They may be different drugs, but they are still drugs.

Using Tabernanthe Iboga in place of these drugs could be a safer and healthier alternative. This is an all-natural supplement that has been used for countless centuries with no harm. The supplement has proven itself effective in African societies.

Tabernanthe Iboga is currently banned in the United States. Other countries that have made the herb illegal are:

• Belgium
• Poland
• Denmark
• Croatia
• France
• Sweden
• Switzerland

Banning Tabernanthe Iboga is unnecessary. The benefits of this supplement far outweigh the risks.
