Scientific studies show that CBD helps to quit smoking.
CBD is a natural substance that affects nicotine-addicted receptors
they get blocked. This reduces the desire to smoke and facilitates quitting the habit.
Nicotine: addictive nerve poison
At the heart of tobacco addiction (or rather nicotine addiction) are the nicotine-addicted receptors in the brain. And this is not very surprising, as nicotine is among the 3 most addictive substances.
Addictive receptors
The number of receptors in the brain differs from person to person, so the degree of addiction also varies. People with many receptors have more difficulty quitting smoking than those with fewer. The longer a person smokes, the more receptors are activated.
When you stop smoking, these receptors keep craving nicotine. If you have quit smoking for long enough, the receptors stop doing so and you are freed from the addiction!
Displaced addiction
When you quit smoking using a nicotine-based device (for example, nicotine patches, gum, spray, etc.), you are actually still addicted to nicotine. Even an electronic cigarette is not a real alternative. This is because you continue to feed your receptors with nicotine. In reality, you have transferred the addiction to another product.
The core of addiction
Several scientific studies have shown that CBD (short for cannabidiol) is effective for quitting nicotine (smoking). This is because nicotine and CBD act on the same receptors. Nicotine activates these receptors, while CBD blocks them. Blocking the receptors immediately reduces the desire to smoke (nicotine).
What is CBD?
CBD is the abbreviation for cannabinoids. Cannabinoids are a natural product and are extracted from specially cultivated fiber hemp plants. These plants have a very high CBD content. CBD is 100% natural, you definitely cannot get high with CBD! Additionally, it has no side effects and does not create addiction.
Endocannabinoid system (ECS)
Scientists discovered (not long ago) that the human body has an extensive endocannabinoid system (ECS) and that it affects many bodily functions. The system consists of several receptors in the body and brain. Each person also produces small amounts of cannabinoids on their own. CBD nourishes this biological system.
The science about CBD and quitting smoking
Scientific studies show that CBD helps to quit smoking. It does not work in 24 hours because CBD needs to accumulate. The minimum period for this varies from person to person because, among other things, the number of receptors also varies.
Here are some scientific studies on CBD and smoking cessation:

CBD product differences
CBD is incorporated into numerous products because, in addition to anti-addictive effects, it also has strong anti-inflammatory and pain-reducing properties.
CBD Parches:>> The patches have a biological absorption capacity 15 times better than oil (65% versus 6%)
>> The patches provide a gradual and constant release over 24 hours
>> Patches have a faster effect (they enter the bloodstream directly through the skin)
>> The patches are easy to use daily (avoiding bad taste) The patches do not cause digestive problems (liver, kidneys, etc.)
>> Patches are 15 times cheaper to use due to much higher absorption (fewer are needed!).
