6 Foods to Control and Curb Cigarette Smoking

Cloves

Clove is one of the best foods that can help you stop smoking. You can simply have cloves or place a little clove oil on your finger and apply it on the back of the tongue to curb nicotine cravings.

The strong taste of this spice is tends to decrease the desire to smoke. Smoking clove cigarettes known as kreteks over regular cigarettes, however, is not recommended because they contain tobacco.

Besides, you can keep cinnamon-flavored toothpicks with you. Plus, it relieves bad breath and removes impurities from blood.
