CBD, or cannabidiol, is an active substance coming from hemp (cannabis sativa). This plant contains several cannabinoids, among which the most famous are tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD).

Although they belong to the same family, these two molecules have a different action on the body. THC is considered harmful to health because it causes psychotropic effects that can alter consciousness. While CBD is very appreciated by consumers because of its potential virtues. According to the WHO (World Health Organization), CBD is considered safe for health and is not classified as a narcotic product. The consumption of THC, the cannabis molecule known for its psychotropic effects, is prohibited in France.

CBD today is consumed to meet various needs, especially when it comes to well-being. It would help in particular to soothe emotional stress, improve sleep and relieve physical pain.

Some consumers use cigarettes as a way to relieve nervousness or stress. During a stressful situation, their first instinct is to reach for a cigarette to calm their nerves and find relief. According to this clinical study , CBD has anxiolytic and antipsychotic effects. Cannabidiol could therefore represent an alternative to this habit. In fact, it would help promote relaxation and relieve nervous tension naturally.

Oil, capsules, herbal tea, e-liquid, gummies… multiple CBD-based products exist on the market in France. They can be consumed as part of smoking cessation. The consumer decides for himself, according to his preferences, which form of product suits him best to quit smoking.

Vaping is often preferred for its dual effect on smoking. In addition to helping fight addiction on a psychological level, vaping offers an alternative to holding a cigarette in your mouth. This approach is less abrupt than suddenly stopping common smoking habits. These are known to be the main cause of failure in attempts to quit smoking. Vaping involves the use of CBD e-liquid, which is integrated directly into the electronic cigarette to provide the same benefits to the smoker. The electronic cigarette thus takes the place of the usual ritual while facilitating the withdrawal period.

However, CBD products offering delicious flavors can be an interesting solution for quitting smoking. These are CBD gummies , lozenges, lollipops and even chocolates. These products differ from traditional forms of consumption because they are pleasant to consume. For example, when you let a pastille melt in your mouth, you appreciate their delicious flavor which is reminiscent of a classic confectionery. Or, chewing a gummy helps compensate for the absence of the act of smoking. Chewing occupies the mouth and distracts from the desire to smoke.
