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.

The goal was to see if this natural approach could lower cravings, cotinine levels, and stress while improving sleep and fitness.
