Lobelia can help nicotine withdrawal
Lobelia acts as a relaxant in the presence of pain, and is useful in bronchitis and asthma as an expectorant and stimulant of the respiratory system. 1The herb contains an alkaloid, lobeline, that shares many properties with nicotine,which may be helpful in treating tobacco withdrawal symptoms. A decoction can also be applied externally to minor skin irritations, and to treat sprains, and bruising. 2

Indian Tobacco is common in dry open fields from Hudson's Bay westward to Saskatchewan and southward to Georgia and the Mississippi, where it flowers from July to October. This well-known milky, acrid, biennial or annual herb, varies greatly in its growth, generally, however, its height is from 8 inches to 2 feet.leaves sessile, veiny, acute, and irregularly or obtusely toothed flowers small, inconspicuous, irregular. Corolla marcescent, about two lines long, pale blue externally, somewhat violet within ; lobes 5, the two upper lanceolate, erect, the three lower ovate, acute, and projecting.

 The name Indian Tobacco might have arisen either from the peculiar tobacco-like sensation imparted to the tongue and stomach on chewing the leaves, or from the fact that the American Indians often smoked the dried leaves to produce the effect of the drug. Samuel Thomson claims to have discovered the virtues of the plant, though without doubt his first ideas of its emetic property were gathered from the Indians. He went so far as to claim it curative in all disorders, giving it with such a reckless hand that he fatally poisoned one of his patients, a certain Ezra Lovett, for which he was arrested on the charge of murder, escaping punishment because said Lovett was foolish enough to take the prescription of a man who claimed to carry such potent drugs as "well-my-gristle" and "ram-cats."
