More than 28 million adults in the US smoke tobacco cigarettes, and research suggests those who want to quit make an average of 30 attempts before they successfully stop smoking. With hemp and cannabis now available in packs of filtered pre-rolls in most states, could tobacco users finally have a stepping stone away from nicotine? And is it really better for your health to switch out smoking one plant for the other?

This episode, host Brit Smith talks to three people who try to quit smoking tobacco by switching for either high-CBD or low-THC cigarettes. They cover the recent research into why CBD may help curb nicotine cravings, they discuss their individual experiences with switching their smokes, and whether they think taking part in the experiment could eventually help them kick tobacco for good.

First, Brit talks to Mark, a writer who covered his experience switching to smoking hemp in the second issue of Different Leaf Magazine. Then, Brit hears from Madi, a French chef in England who tries Bogart hemp cigarettes as a replacement for rolling tobacco. Finally, Brit chats with Drew in Boston, a veteran who tries switching to Farnsworth Fine Cannabis cigarettes with around 12% THC.
