NCT ID NCT07366294
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether inhaling lemongrass (as a vapor or from an inhaler) could reduce nicotine dependence and improve health markers in 200 adult smokers aged 18–30. Participants used lemongrass products or nothing (control) and provided blood samples and questionnaires. The goal was to see if this natural approach could lower cravings, cotinine levels, and stress while improving sleep and fitness.
