St John's Wort

SJW has been noted to attenuate signs of nicotine withdrawal in mice.7 In an open-label study of SJW for tobacco cessation involving 24 cigarette smokers, SJW at a dose of 900 mg per day for 3 months was associated with a 24% (9/37) smoking abstinence rate at end of treatment. Overall, the treatment was well tolerated with no significant adverse effects noted.8,9

Just wanted to make a sjw (not socialist justass worriors) thread.
I’ve been taking it seems to calm my asshole self down a bit.

I’d be curious to know the rate of people who just quit without the treatment.

Average national quit rate among folks who make an attempt is under 10%, but 30%, while improved, is a long way from a majority.
Also in the 30% quit club: gums and patches.
This could be a tool, but I think understanding the nature of addiction and compulsion is a more complete and supportive approach.
