Is taking Lobelia to help stop smoking going to hurt my husband?!

Is taking Lobelia to help stop smoking going to hurt my husband?

I just bought a bottle of Lobelia at the local Whole Foods- I went in pursuit of licorice but the person I spoke with recommended Lobelia instead. I came home and read about it on the internet and am afraid it will cause my husband to be sick. A lot of the things I've read say it causes vomiting and other horrid symptoms.

Please advise, thanks!

The pills also contain Ginger Root-is this to supress nausea?

Ginger does suppress nausea.

Lobelia is often used in smoking cessation programs as it is very close to the nicotine family. If your husband has any heart problems he should not take lobelia.

Likewise pregnant women and children should never take lobelia.

If he isn't having side effects, is taking the recommended dosage and has no heart problems, I wouldn't be too concerned.
