Can You Use Kratom to Stop Smoking

We all know how bad smoking is for us. It damages our heart, causes cancer, and can contribute to breathing problems and early death. But that doesn’t make it any easier to quit and quitting smoking can be one of the hardest things you will ever do. 

So of course you want all the help you can get to put down the cancer sticks once and for all. So you try to stop smoking aids like nicotine gum or patches or even get a prescription for a medication that can help reduce cravings.

When those options don’t work, you may think that you will be smelling like smoke for the rest of your life, unable to quit the tobacco. However, one option that may be able to help is kratom…and it’s an option that not many smokers know of. According to anecdotal reports and possible scientific research, kratom may help you quit. 

This article will show you why kratom could help you quit smoking and how to use kratom to stop smoking. 

Why Can Kratom Help You Quit Smoking?

Research studies show that kratom can help some people quit addicting and often harmful substances by reducing cravings, easing withdrawals, and alleviating discomfort. This is because the activity in the brain often mimics what some other illicit compounds target, but kratom doesn’t offer some of the more damaging effects associated with the chemicals it aims to replace. 

In addition, research shows that the brain activity associated with kratom use is similar to nicotine. They both affect the brain’s reward system and similar neurotransmitters. This would suggest that kratom may act as a replacement for nicotine that can help you quit. 

Therefore, kratom may help you stop smoking for several reasons. 

  • Reduced cravings: Kratom may block some of those urges that keep you attached to nicotine because it will satisfy your pleasure centers and make you mentally comfortable. 
  • Lessened withdrawal: By acting in a similar way and also offering relaxation and stimulation, just like nicotine, kratom can lessen withdrawal and ease the discomfort you may experience when quitting cigarettes, vapes, dip, or cigars. 
  • Nausea with Cigarettes: When you smoke with kratom, it may cause you to experience nausea that may make cigarettes seem less appealing, which can make them much easier to avoid. 
  • Replaced Effects: Kratom may replace some of the effects of smoking like extra stimulation on the brain or relaxation of your nerves that you achieve when taking that first puff of a cigarette. 
  • Reduced Boredom: For some people, the boredom of not smoking is very difficult because you have to replace the smoking time with other activities. Kratom can help you be more motivated and interested in other activities. 

How to Use Kratom to Stop Smoking

Using kratom to stop smoking isn’t for everyone, but if you want to give it a shot, we wanted to provide as much information as possible to help you out. This includes what kratom to use, how much to take, when to take, and more. 

What Type of Kratom to Use

Since nicotine acts as a stimulant, you want to get stimulating kratom. White vein kratom options are the best for this effect. This can help you replace the effects of nicotine while also giving a burst of energy and motivation that can help you get through the hardest days with a smile. 

Then, you can use Green strains at nighttime for a more relaxing quality while also offering some stimulation. We recommend avoiding red strains for the first two weeks because some people claim they actually add to the urge to smoke, but if you want something exceptionally relaxing then Yellow Gold kratom can be a great option. 

When to Take Kratom

Smokers often find that waking up in the morning is associated with the strongest cravings, so that is the essential time to take kratom. This also carries the beneficial effects into the day when you may start to work, drive in your car, eat lunch, and encounter other triggers for nicotine cravings. 

In general,  you will need 1 to 3 doses per day, but try to dose as little as needed to successfully avoid cigarettes or other forms of nicotine. If you do need three doses, then try to space them out as much as possible. For example, after your morning dose, wait until afternoon and evening for the others. 

How Much Kratom to Take

This will depend on a lot of factors including the quality of your kratom, your sensitivity or tolerance, and others. However, it is best to start with a small dose, especially since smaller doses tend to be more stimulating and therefore more effective. Try to keep all doses below 3 grams, but start with much lower. A lot of smokers find that very small doses between .5 and .75 grams are best. 

Start with at most 1 gram and then wait an hour and fifteen minutes. See how you feel and then take another .5 to 1 gram if needed. Then, the next dose adjusts in amounts of .5 to 1 gram until you hit a dose that keeps nicotine cravings and withdrawals away. Taking too much can cause nausea and other unpleasant effects, so be careful. 

How to Take Kratom

There are lots of different methods for taking kratom. You may find that kratom capsules are the most convenient and easiest to take. However, the powder is more affordable, so it depends on your own preferences. 

If you get powder, you can mix it with a beverage or simply place the powder on your tongue and wash it down with water, orange juice, or another non-carbonated drink. This is called the toss-and-wash method. Kratom doesn’t always taste pleasant, so you may have to use some trial and error to get it right. 

Conclusion

If you can’t quit smoking and keep trying, then kratom could make your next attempt a success so you can finally put down cigarettes for good. It may help you stop craving nicotine and relieve some of the symptoms you experience during withdrawals. Just be sure to use the right type and amount and good luck!
