HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Smoke Out by Christopher's Original Formulas

Our pharmacy team’s full take, with four database checks built into the cards below — a summary of what is known, not a grade of the product itself.

What’s inside

Low disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Low

Most active ingredients don't disclose an individual amount — you can't tell how much of each you're getting.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 0 of its 4 active ingredients.
  • “Proprietary Blend” is a proprietary blend — the label doesn't break down how much of each component you get.

Smoke Out contains 4 active ingredients in a proprietary blend: cayenne pepper, lobelia, wild oat, and rose hip. Each plays a traditional role—cayenne for its warming properties, lobelia historically used for smoking cessation, wild oat traditionally valued as a nerve tonic, and rose hip for its vitamin C content.

The product is delivered as a liquid in grain alcohol and distilled water.

Leans against

The strongest graded evidence we hold for the stated purpose leans against a benefit.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: smoking cessation aid.
  • We looked for evidence on: Smoking cessation.
  • The closest evidence on file: Lobelia is rated "Possibly Ineffective" for Smoking cessation (Natural Medicines).

Cayenne pepper is likely effective for nerve pain after shingles (postherpetic neuralgia) and nerve damage from diabetes (diabetic neuropathy), and possibly effective for cluster headaches, back pain, and postoperative nausea. Wild oat is likely effective for high cholesterol (dyslipidemia) and heart disease.

Rose hip is possibly effective for pain after surgery and osteoarthritis, but evidence for its effect on high cholesterol is insufficient. Lobelia, however, is rated possibly ineffective for smoking cessation—the main purpose this product markets itself for.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Capsicum Lobelia Oats Rose Hip

How safe is it?

Well-documented data
Safety Information · database check
Well characterized

Adverse-effect, pregnancy, and general safety data are on file for most of these ingredients.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 4 of the 4 matched ingredients.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 4 of 4.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 4 of 4.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Cayenne pepper is generally well tolerated at food amounts and doses up to 200 mg daily, though it commonly causes burning, irritation, bloating, gas, nausea, and diarrhea. Higher or concentrated doses are not well studied.

Lobelia is the ingredient requiring the most caution: it can be toxic at higher doses (600 mg or more of the leaf), causing sweating, fast heart rate, seizures, low body temperature, low blood pressure, and in severe cases, death. Even lower doses (as low as 50 mg) can cause nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, coughing, dizziness, tremors, and throat irritation.

Wild oat is well tolerated as food; increasing dietary fiber may cause bloating and gas, which usually subside with continued use. Rose hip is generally well tolerated as food; gastrointestinal upset occurs rarely.

Moderate interaction found
Known Interaction Concern · database check
Moderate identified

The most serious documented interaction for these ingredients is Moderate. Check your medications for a personalized result.

Why this rating?
  • 4 of the 4 matched ingredients can interact with medications — Lobelia, Oats, Rose Hip, Capsicum.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs; cancer treatments; diabetes medications; lithium.
  • For scale: 330 individual medications appear in the full list. A big number alone doesn't make a product dangerous — what matters is whether YOUR medication is on it, so run yours through the interaction checker on this page.

Before taking Smoke Out, check whether you're on lithium, blood thinners (anticoagulants and antiplatelet drugs), diabetes medications or insulin, theophylline, aspirin, ciprofloxacin, ACE inhibitors, hormonal birth control, or hormone replacement therapy. Cayenne pepper, lobelia, wild oat, and rose hip all carry moderate interactions with several of these drug types, and lobelia's interaction with lithium can be serious.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with graded evidence leaning against its stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

If you're considering this for smoking cessation, know that lobelia is rated possibly ineffective for that purpose—and it carries real toxicity risks that demand caution. If you take blood thinners, diabetes medications, lithium, theophylline, or hormonal birth control, talk to your pharmacist before adding this product.

The 329 medications it potentially interacts with make a medication check essential.

Cayenne Pepper6 drug types · 239 drugs

Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs

Theoretically, capsicum may increase the risk of bleeding if used with anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs.
In vitro research shows that capsicum might increase the effects of antiplatelet drugs. Also, population research shows that capsicum is associated with an increased risk of self-reported bleeding in patients taking warfarin. However, clinical research shows that taking a single dose of capsaicin (Asian Herbex Ltd.), the active ingredient in capsicum, 400-800 mcg orally in combination with aspirin 500 mg does not decrease platelet aggregation when compared with taking aspirin 500 mg alone. Also, there was no notable effect on measures of platelet aggregation with capsaicin. It is unclear whether capsaicin must be used in more than a single dose to affect platelet aggregation.

Likelihood Possible Evidence B
Antidiabetes Drugs

Theoretically, taking capsicum with antidiabetes drugs might increase the risk of hypoglycemia.
Preliminary clinical research shows that consuming capsicum 5 grams along with a glucose drink attenuates the rise in plasma glucose after 30 minutes by 21%, decreases the 2-hour postprandial area under the curve of plasma glucose by 11%, and increases the 2-hour postprandial area under the curve of plasma insulin by 58% in healthy individuals when compared with placebo. Other clinical research shows that taking capsicum 5 mg daily for 28 days significantly reduces postprandial blood glucose and insulin levels, but not fasting blood glucose and insulin levels, in patients with gestational diabetes.

Likelihood Possible Evidence B
Aspirin

Theoretically, taking capsicum with aspirin might reduce the bioavailability of aspirin.
Animal research shows that acute or chronic intake of capsicum pepper reduces oral aspirin bioavailability. This has not been shown in humans.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Theophylline

Theoretically, taking capsicum with theophylline might increase the levels and adverse effects of theophylline.
In animal research, oral administration of capsicum reduced excretion of theophylline. However, capsicum does not seem to affect the pharmacokinetics of theophylline when administered intravenously.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Ace Inhibitors (Aceis)

Theoretically, using topical capsaicin may increase the risk of ACE inhibitor-induced cough.
There is one case report of a topically applied capsaicin cream contributing to the cough reflex in a patient using an ACEI. However, it is unclear if this interaction is clinically significant.

Likelihood Unlikely Evidence D
Ciprofloxacin (Cipro)

Theoretically, taking capsicum with ciprofloxacin might increase levels and adverse effects of ciprofloxacin.
Animal research shows that concomitant use of capsaicin, the active constituent of capsicum, and ciprofloxacin increases the bioavailability of ciprofloxacin by up to 70%.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Cayenne Pepper full monograph & interactions

Rose Hip8 drug types · 213 drugs

Alkylating Agents

Theoretically, the antioxidant effects of rose hip might reduce the effectiveness of alkylating agents but might also reduce the oxidative damage caused by certain alkylating agents.
Rose hip contains vitamin C. The use of antioxidants like vitamin C during chemotherapy is controversial. There is concern that antioxidants could reduce the activity of chemotherapy drugs that generate free radicals, such as cyclophosphamide, chlorambucil, carmustine, busulfan, and thiotepa. In contrast, some researchers theorize that antioxidants might make chemotherapy more effective by reducing oxidative stress that could interfere with apoptosis (cell death) of cancer cells. Further, some animal research suggests that the antioxidant effects of rose hip might attenuate cyclophosphamide-induced testicular toxicity. More evidence is needed to determine what effect, if any, antioxidants found in rose hip, such as vitamin C, have on the effectiveness and adverse effects of chemotherapy.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Aluminum

Theoretically, rose hip might increase the amount of aluminum absorbed from aluminum compounds.
Rose hip contains vitamin C. Theoretically, vitamin C increases the absorption of aluminum. Concomitant use might increase aluminum absorption, but the clinical significance of this is unknown. Administer rose hip two hours before or four hours after antacids.

Likelihood Probable Evidence D
Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs

Theoretically, rose hip might reduce the effectiveness of anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs.
In vitro and animal research suggests that a constituent of rose hip, rugosin E, can induce platelet aggregation. This has not been shown in humans. Theoretically, concomitant use of rose hip might reduce the effectiveness of antiplatelet or anticoagulant drugs.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Antitumor Antibiotics

Theoretically, the antioxidant effects of rose hip might reduce the effectiveness of antitumor antibiotics.
Rose hip contains the antioxidant vitamin C. There is concern that antioxidants might reduce the activity of chemotherapy drugs that generate free radicals, such as antitumor antibiotics. In contrast, other researchers theorize that antioxidants might make antitumor antibiotic chemotherapy more effective by reducing oxidative stress that could interfere with apoptosis (cell death) of cancer cells. More evidence is needed to determine what effects, if any, antioxidants such as vitamin C have on antitumor antibiotic chemotherapy.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Estrogens

Theoretically, rose hip might increase blood levels of estrogens.
Rose hip contains vitamin C. Increases in plasma estrogen levels of up to 55% have occured under some circumstances when vitamin C is taken concurrently with oral contraceptives or hormone replacement therapy, including topical products. It is suggested that vitamin C prevents oxidation of estrogen in the tissues, regenerates oxidized estrogen, and reduces sulfate conjugation of estrogen in the gut wall. When tissue levels of vitamin C are high, these processes are already maximized and supplemental vitamin C does not have any effect on estrogen levels. However, increases in plasma estrogen levels may occur when women who are deficient in vitamin C take supplements.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Lithium

Theoretically, rose hip might increase blood levels of lithium.
Rose hip is thought to have diuretic properties. Theoretically, due to these potential diuretic effects, rose hip might reduce excretion and increase levels of lithium. The dose of lithium might need to be decreased.

Likelihood Probable Evidence D
Aspirin

Theoretically, rose hip might reduce the clearance of aspirin; however, its vitamin C content is likely too low to produce clinically significant effects.
Rose hip contains vitamin C. It has been suggested that acidification of the urine by vitamin C can decrease the urinary excretion of salicylates, increasing plasma salicylate levels. However, short-term use of up to 6 grams daily of vitamin C does not seem to affect urinary pH or salicylate excretion. The vitamin C content of rose hip is typically about 500 mg per 100 grams. Thus, a clinically significant interaction between rose hip and aspirin is unlikely.

Likelihood Unlikely Evidence B
Warfarin (Coumadin)

Theoretically, rose hip might reduce the effectiveness of warfarin; however, its vitamin C content is likely too low to produce clinically significant effects.
Rose hip contains vitamin C. High doses of vitamin C may reduce the response to warfarin, possibly by causing diarrhea and reducing warfarin absorption. This occurred in two people who took up to 16 grams daily of vitamin C, and resulted in decreased prothrombin time. Lower doses of 5-10 grams daily of vitamin C can also reduce warfarin absorption, but this does not seem to be clinically significant. The vitamin C content of rose hip is typically about 500 mg per 100 grams. Thus, a clinically significant interaction between rose hip and warfarin is unlikely.

Rose Hip full monograph & interactions

Wild Oat2 drug types · 86 drugs

Antidiabetes Drugs

Theoretically, oats may have additive effects with antidiabetic agents and might increase the risk of hypoglycemia.
Consuming oats can decrease blood glucose in patients with diabetes. In those who require insulin, taking oats 100 grams daily for 2 days reduces the insulin dose required to achieve metabolic control.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Insulin

Concomitant use of oats and insulin might increase the risk of hypoglycemia.
In patients with insulin-dependent type 2 diabetes, taking oats 100 grams daily for 2 days reduces the insulin dose required to achieve metabolic control.

Smoke Out by Christopher's Original Formulas: Common Questions

Does Smoke Out by Christopher's Original Formulas interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Smoke Out has a known interaction with 330 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Smoke Out contains 4 active ingredients, and an interaction can come from any of them. We check every ingredient, combine the results into one list per medication, and show which ingredient and mechanism is responsible.
Where does this information come from?
The product label data comes from the NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD); the interaction data is built on the Natural Medicines database and reviewed by HelloPharmacist pharmacists.
Does this product actually help you quit smoking?
Lobelia, the ingredient traditionally used for smoking cessation in this formula, is rated possibly ineffective for that purpose according to our data. You may want to discuss other evidence-based options with your doctor or pharmacist.
What are the main side effects I should expect from taking this?
Cayenne pepper commonly causes burning, bloating, gas, nausea, and diarrhea. Lobelia can cause nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, coughing, dizziness, tremors, and throat irritation even at low doses. Wild oat may cause bloating and flatulence as your body adjusts to added fiber. Rose hip may cause loose stools or flatulence.
Is lobelia in this product safe?
Lobelia can be toxic at higher doses, and even low doses (as low as 50 mg) commonly cause side effects. At doses of 600 mg or higher, it can cause serious toxicity including fast heart rate, low blood pressure, seizures, and in severe cases, death. Because we don't know the exact amount in this proprietary blend, caution is strongly advised.
Can I take this if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
Lobelia is rated likely unsafe during pregnancy and breastfeeding due to toxicity concerns. Rose hip and wild oat as food amounts are generally considered safe in pregnancy and while breastfeeding, but data on concentrated supplements is limited. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice.
Does wild oat in this product help lower cholesterol?
Wild oat is likely effective for high cholesterol and heart disease when consumed as food or in studied amounts. However, we don't know the exact dose in this proprietary blend, so we can't say whether it's present in an effective amount.
What should I know about this product and my diabetes medications?
Both cayenne pepper and wild oat can lower blood sugar and may increase the risk of low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) when combined with diabetes drugs or insulin. If you take these medications, check with your pharmacist before starting this product, and monitor your blood sugar closely.
