L. michauxii Nutt; and others Campanulaceae Indian tobacco; puke weed Lobeliae herba Herb The active constituents are the piperidine alkaloids, mainly lobeline, but also lobelanine, lobelanidine, norlobelanine, lelobanidine, norlelobanidine, norlobelanidine and lobinine (Felpin and Lebreton 2004; Williamson et al. 2013). No data available to support the traditional use for respiratory tract disorders. A Cochrane review suggests that there is no evidence from long-term trials to show that lobeline can aid smoking cessation, and the short-term evidence also suggests there is no benefit (Stead and Hughes 2012).
