Many people are now living smoke free after simply replacing their habit with herbal tea.\u00a0 At a time when many are struggling to break the habit and get healthy, herbal tea can be a simple and effective alternative.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Quit<\/a><\/p>\n

One company that is attesting to this is Quit Co., which has sold over 30,000 boxes of Quit Tea<\/a> in the US alone <\/span>since 2010.\u00a0 Based on data from multiple surveys of thousands of people using Quit Tea, the company can estimate how many have probably quit smoking.<\/p>\n

The average number of boxes used to quit ranged between four\u00a0and six, and the success rates are between 17% and 32%.\u00a0 This means between 850 and 2,400 smokers have now quit smoking with herbal tea.<\/p>\n

There are over 40 million smokers in the United States<\/span>, and most try to quit more than 5 times before succeeding.\u00a0 Since Quit Tea is a relatively new and alternative product, most people will end up using Quit Tea, after having unsuccessfully tried nicotine replacement therapy, where long term success rates remain very low, around 6%.<\/p>\n

“The theory behind using a herbal tea to quit smoking is simple.\u00a0 These herbs can temporarily support willpower to help smokers quit, and a tea makes an ideal habit replacement,” according to\u00a0Quit Co.<\/a> founder Matt Bucklin<\/span>.<\/p>\n

There is a growing body of evidence that the urge for cigarettes is more than the addiction to nicotine, there is a strong behavioral dependency to smoking.\u00a0 Many experts now recommend behavioral modification therapy in combination with a product, for the best chances of smoking cessation success<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“Treatment of nicotine addiction requires appropriate treatment of the behavioral manifestations to be totally successful,” according to Dr. Clyde McCoy<\/span>, PhD. at University of Miami’s<\/span> Miller School of Medicine.<\/p>\n

Herbal tea is an inexpensive and natural option<\/a> that can address the behavioral dependency by providing an alternative action in the stimuli, action, outcome, associative learning loop. Currently, 38% of US adults are open to using some type of Complementary and Alternative Medicine.<\/p>\n
