The Libora™ Kit to Quit SMOKING and All Similar Products

                                             

1. Effectiveness of the Libora™ Kit

No independent scientific data is available on this kit. Our research revealed neither clinical trials nor scientific reviews specifically about Libora™. The accessible information comes mainly from commercial websites. In practice, health experts consider these “gesture substitutes” (fake cigarettes, breathing pendants) to be mere psychological crutches. For instance, Tabac Info Service states that the anti-smoking breathing pendant is “not a scientifically validated method” for quitting smoking (tabac-info-service.fr). Similarly, a page on smoking cessation notes that these substitutes are “nothing more than a psychological crutch,” with a very low success rate and a high risk of relapse when the object is abandoned (arreter-de-fumer.pagesjaunes.fr). In summary, there is no clinical evidence to support the real effectiveness of the Libora™ kit beyond possible placebo effects.

Key points:

• No independent study has evaluated this device.
• According to official health bodies, the most effective quitting aids are nicotine replacement therapies (patches, gums, etc.) and medications (varenicline, bupropion), while gesture substitutes like Libora™ have no scientific validation (tabac-info-service.fr, arreter-de-fumer.pagesjaunes.fr).
• Gesture substitutes primarily target behavioral addiction; their success rate is generally low (arreter-de-fumer.pagesjaunes.fr), with a high risk of relapse.

2. Components and Functioning of the Libora™ Kit

(Example of an anti-smoking breathing pendant – similar to the Libora™ pendant)

The Libora™ kit is not a medicine nor a homeopathic product: it is a mechanical device. The central element is a hollow metal pendant (usually stainless steel) pierced by an air channel. The user places it in their mouth and inhales through the pendant. The internal air resistance recreates the sensation of drawing on a cigarette, without any combustion or nicotine. By inhaling plain air, the pendant provides tactile feedback that soothes the craving to smoke through simple physical gesture. According to the manufacturer, the kit “contains no chemical substances, nicotine, or other additives,” but works solely through physical stimulation (lerevedegranny.com). Similarly, it can be compared to a “tobacco-free cigarette”: this gesture substitute contains no nicotine (arreter-de-fumer.pagesjaunes.fr) and maintains the habit of smoking without introducing toxic products (arreter-de-fumer.pagesjaunes.fr).

The main components included in the “complete kit” are:

• The Libora™ pendant itself (metallic tube) with its chain or cord.
• A storage pouch marked with the Libora™ logo for transporting the device.
• A digital guide (“ebook”) The Path to Freedom, included with the kit, offering psychological support tips and techniques.

The kit contains no nicotine patches, no herbs, no tablets: its approach is purely behavioral. Other accessories (sold separately) may be offered by the same vendor – for example, tar filters for real cigarettes or a magnetic bracelet – but these are not part of the basic Libora™ kit. In practice, the method relies on “gesture deconditioning”: by simulating the act of smoking without nicotine, Libora™ aims to break the habitual link to cigarettes by eliminating the reflexive craving (arreter-de-fumer.pagesjaunes.fr).

References:

Information on gesture substitutes comes from health organizations (e.g. Tabac Info Service), which underline the lack of clear evidence and recommend instead the established smoking cessation treatments (tabac-info-service.fr, arreter-de-fumer.pagesjaunes.fr). The technical descriptions of the kit come from vendor websites that describe it (absence of nicotine, function based on air resistance) (lerevedegranny.com). These aspects should be put into perspective: in the absence of clinical studies, the true effectiveness of this type of device remains uncertain.
