Lobelia inflata, commonly known as Lobelia or Indian Tobacco, is a smokable herb many use as a nicotine replacement and an herbal aide to stop smoking tobacco.  

Interested in smoking Lobelia? Lobelia contains an alkaloid called Lobeline.  Because of Lobeline’s similarity to nicotine, this smokable herb is commonly used to ease nicotine withdrawals and quit smoking cigarettes. It’s also useful in treating alcohol use disorder and drug addiction.

Easy does it though! Lobelia is a potentially toxic herb, in large enough doses. Smoking too much Lobelia can make you puke. In fact, that’s one of its many medicinal uses. We recommend going easy on this smokable herb.

Lobelia opens the lungs and can be used by asthmatics to improve breathing. In fact, Native Americans historically smoked Lobelia as a treatment for asthma. This herb also increases blood flow throughout the body and can help clear mucus from the respiratory tract, including the throat, lungs, and bronchial tubes. Lobelia is useful in treating bronchitis, pneumonia, and cough.
