The Stevia rebaudiana Bertoni plant was discovered more than 1,500 years ago by the native Guarani people, growing in clumps of two or three along the edges of the rainforests of Paraguay.
In the beginning, the natives used the leaves for their medicinal benefit, to freshen their breath, and to sweeten and mellow the strong taste of herbal tea.
Research conducted at the University of Southern California has demonstrated the connection between tobacco smoking and blood sugar levels.
The main trigger of the high that smokers experience is sugar and its ability to allow nicotine molecules to transmit that “high” to neurons.

How to use Stevia
While you can use stevia as it is, I recommend using liquid stevia instead. It is most commonly packaged in a bottle equipped with a dropper, making it highly compact to take with you anywhere you go.
For those suffering from nicotine cravings, all you need to do is add a few drops of liquid stevia directly to your tongue for faster absorption.
