How does it work?
How does our inhaler work?
Habits are wired in by automatic neural loops: cue → routine → reward. To break them, you have to replace the destructive behavior with a healthy alternative that meets the same needs. Our inhaler works on three dimensions at once.
Gesture anchoring
The hand-to-mouth gesture accounts for up to 70% of behavioral dependence. The inhaler reproduces this familiar gesture, without any harmful substance — quitting anxiety drops.
Sensory stimulation
Natural essences stimulate the sense of smell: menthol refreshes, lavender soothes, citrus boosts serotonin. Attention is drawn away from the craving.
Therapeutic fidgeting
Holding, turning, adjusting: these micro-gestures keep hands and mind busy during tension peaks, and reduce stress and irritability during the transition.

The science behind
our natural inhaler
How flavored air — with zero nicotine — helps break bad habits.
Behavioral addiction accounts for up to 80% of dependence. Where conventional solutions only target the chemical dependence, our inhaler goes after the root: the repeated gesture, oral fixation and daily rituals.
Our method relies on three levers validated by behavioral research: gesture substitution, sensory stimulation and the gradual reduction of dependence — without any harmful substance.

Rigor and transparency
Our multidisciplinary team — physicians, behavioral neuroscience researchers and aromatherapy experts — conducts in-depth studies to guarantee both the efficacy and the safety of the product.
We don't take the quality of our ingredients for granted: every formulation is tested in full. Every batch undergoes strict controls and independent laboratory analyses, following protocols that exceed industry standards.
Three independent studies
Conducted by third-party laboratories, on efficacy, toxicology and exposure.
- 67% success rate at 90 days, versus 29% for traditional methods
- −73% compulsive cravings within the first 14 days
- 89% would recommend the product to friends and family
- No significant side effects (0.3% minor irritation)
Heavy metals, residual solvents, volatile organic compounds, known allergens… the entire formulation was screened.
No trace of formaldehyde, acetaldehyde, acrolein or other compounds of concern — even at trace thresholds.
- Protocol based on intensive use of 15 inhalations/day
- Spectroscopic measurement of aromatic compounds in the gas phase
- Safety margin greater than 2.6× the regulatory thresholds
Figures from our internal studies conducted by third-party laboratories. The underlying principle — a sensory substitute that reduces withdrawal — is documented in the literature:

Natural and refined
Unlike aggressive synthetic flavors, we favor the purity of plant essences. After a few days, the delicate, complex aromas reveal themselves — and become surprisingly satisfying.
