A tobacco-free non-electronic inhaler to quit smoking and vaping.
Have you ever been in a situation where you are feeling stressed or dizzy and someone tells you, just breathe? Or have you ever taken a yoga class or work out class, where the instructor tells you to be mindful of your breath? Have you ever thought more into it?
Of course we need to breathe, it’s part of being alive. However, there is more scientific evidence that being mindful of your breathing and taking the time to breathe deeper and slower can actually have significant health benefits. The official term for deep breathing is Diaphragmatic Breathing, which means breathing so deep that you feel it in your stomach. This is the type of breathing practiced in yoga and meditation. From lowering blood pressure and stress levels to strengthening muscles, Diaphragmatic Breathing brings a number of benefits to the body. Here's a few…
When we take deeper breaths, the upward and downward motion of the diaphragm removes toxins in the body, which promote better blood flow and lower blood pressure. Research supports these claims. One study testing mindful breathing on young adults with high blood pressure over a year period, showed that those who practice deeper breathing had significantly lower cortisol hyperextensions. In other words, the deeper breathing methods helped reduce participants blood pressure and risk for future development of high blood pressure.
When you are stressed, tense or scared, your natural response is for muscles to tighten and breathing to become shallow. When your breathing is constricted, your body does not get the proper amount of oxygen it requires. Therefore, pausing during these stressful moments to take long deep breathes reverses the negative effects of stress on the body. Taking deep breaths allows more oxygen to the brain and body, thus relieving tension and calming the body and mind.
Studies have tested the effects of breathing exercise on participants who suffered from high stress levels. One physical sign of stress is elevated cortisol levels, that researchers used as a measurement in this study. The participants were told to use a variety of breathing exercises at least once a day, as well as when they were feeling stressed or overwhelmed. After a three month period, those who practiced breathing exercises had significantly lower levels of cortisol than those who did not.
With the significant increase in stress disorders over the years, many researchers have started looking into alternative or natural methods for humans to cope with stress and anxiety. Many studies reveal that controlled rhythmic breathing, as practiced in yoga, has a positive impact for helping with anxiety.
One study that stood out was one conducted on military veterans suffering from Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). The researcher wanted to investigate the alternative approach of breathing-based meditation over a one year period on the veterans. The veterans who were taught and used breathing techniques during PTSD episodes or anxiety showed significant reduction in PTSD scores than those who did not use the breathing exercise. As a result, mindful breathing was able to decrease anxiety symptoms and respiration rates causing the episodes.
Our body is constantly detoxifying itself through breathing, as carbon dioxide is a natural detoxifier. When we exhale l, the carbon dioxide takes waste from the body with it. Therefore, when our lungs are compromised by shallow breathing, our natural detoxification system starts working on overdrive to expel the waste in our body. Thus, resulting in our body weakening and leaving us more susceptible to illness. When we take the time to breathe and be more mindful of taking deeper breaths, more oxygen enters the body and our lungs open more. Resulting in more carbon dioxide taking the toxins out of the body. It seems like such a small and silly thing, but taking deeper breaths really goes a long way for our body.
More often than not, we don’t realize that our breath becomes more shallow as we get later into our day. A sign of shallow breathing is that afternoon slump, where you feel like you've hit a wall and have low energy. The afternoon slump can be caused by lack of oxygen in the body. When our body has decreased oxygen levels, our organs are working in overdrive to compensate, causing us to feel tired and lack energy. By taking the time to be mindful of your breathing, you can increase energy levels significantly, by allowing more oxygen into the lungs and brain so that your body can function efficiently and effectively.
Our whole body's system relies on oxygen to function. When we breathe deeper, more oxygen is able to reach each body part, including our digestive system. More oxygen to the body increases blood flow which encourages intestinal action, thus improving your overall digestion. Deeper breathing also calms our nervous system, which also enhances optimal digestion.
"if you’re breathing sub-optimally, dysfunctional or flat out wrong, it's almost impossible for your body to reap all the benefits from even the best diet, the best hydration or exercise program. Dysfunctional breathing is almost the respiratory equivalent of eating fast food, not once or twice, but 23,000 times a day. What if instead of eating fast food 23,000 times a day, we took ourselves to the spa? What if 23,000 times a day we invested in our vitality? What if 23,000 times a day we took ourselves back to the calm"

Hi Dee,
A Core typically lasts 1-2 days, depending on how much you use your FUM throughout the day. If you store it well and use intermittently, you can often get an extra day or two of use out of each core! You can choose to store it in the FÜM inhaler in the Pocket Case or take the Core out and store it in the zipper pouch it came in.
Hi, I just received my FUM and wanted to know how often we should change the core? Do we leave it in when not in use?
Thanks!
Love this article and LOVE this product!! Thank you! :)

Best device to quit
One nicotine quitting pack and it got me through wanting to smoke or vape ANYTHING. I don’t know what voodoo you got in those cores, but I’m cured with the need/desire to smoke anything. can’t think of another product that actually delivered on their promise, thank you FUM!!!
I love everything about it...
I love everything about this product. Purchased it to stop smoking and it helped immensely. Since then have bought more cores and they are great. I recommend it to all my friends. Thank you!!!
FUM Freedom
I had been decreasing my nicotine use through vaping and had gotten to using 0mg juices. When switched to using only FUM, I was very happy with the ease and FREEDOM of the product. I see it now as a simple essential oil delivery system for personal on-the-go aromatherapy.
My husband has been using Fum
My husband has been using Füm inhaler to help quit his dipping habit. Seems to be helping with the cravings! It’s a journey but we are happy to have a natural way to help kick the habit!
Such a great tool to have!
This core has been so key for me in my 30 day challenge of making healthier eating choices. I cut back on dairy, processed sugar, grains, legumes, and coffee. I’m on day 22 and I’m not even craving any of these. It’s helped me to press pause, take some breaths, and reset my mind to stay strong. Definitely recommend!
Amazing for kicking habits
I’m a mental health and addiction counselor and am constantly trying to help clients quit smoking. Typically I suggest black pepper on a toothpick but ever since finding füm this is what I recommend! Their conquer cores are so wonderful for the recovery community!!!!

For what seems to be a simple idea, is a genius product. I tend to fidget and/or have a bit of an oral fixation especially during the work day. Very happy with it.
