“Highly recommend! I started smoking again in the past year, after having quit for 16. With vaping being practically odorless and convenient, it’s been harder to quit.
My personal health is important to me, and quitting smoking was a must- I figured I can’t NOT afford to purchase this and try it out. My health and freedom from a bad habit is definitely worth $85.
In the first day, I reduced cravings by 50%, and have continued to cut back each day since. I’m confident that in a week, I’ll be done with smoking.
I’ll definitely continue using Shift even after, as it’s a nice reminder to engage in mindful breathing exercises. It’s high quality craftsmanship makes it a nice accessory and I’ve recommended it to others already!”
“I love this device. I haven’t taken it off since I received it. It really helps with anxiety and I’m hoping to get off of vapes with it too. Thank you”
“I appreciate the design and quality of Komuso … in particular, the Shift. I like the brand, have recommended Komuso to others and have purchased as a gift.”
“My Komuso is a beautiful piece that I’ve used several times a day since I received it. Even when I don’t choose to use the straw to help slow down my breathing, wearing it every day is a reminder of my commitment to taking a deep breath and managing my anxiety as best as I can with the tools I have available. It’s been a very positive and empowering purchase for me.”
“I received my Komuso a few days ago and I must admit it far exceeds my expectations. I didn’t have high hopes for it, and to be honest and thought it would be gimmicky. I am so happy to say I was completely wrong. You can genuinely feel it calm you down in an immediate and strange way. It’s the only thing I’ve felt gives me actual relief instead of white knuckle pain while quitting smoking. When I have a serious nicotine craving a breathe through it and it makes not smoking doable—something I’ve never experienced before. I’m completely shocked and I’m so happy I took a chance to try this. It bring a physical aspect to quitting that is so needed but so ignored in the literature. And it’s beautiful. I got the silver one, it very nice quality and the delicate engravings are lovely. I really want to thank the komuso team, this elegant little product is important and it could make all the difference to me. Thank you, truly.”
“Life-changing! As someone with anxiety and depression who struggles to be in the moment and to take a breather, Komuso Design is revolutionary and has changed my life for the better! I'm so glad to have found this site as these necklaces are beautiful and so beyond helpful for me!”
“While I understand the importance of breathing, it's always been difficult for me to develop a habit for it. But with the shift always around my neck, it helps remind to take a step back and breathe. The product itself is solid and aesthetically pleasing to me.”
“You know, I was a 2 1/2 pack a day smoker for 20 years, and I suffer from a lot of stress and anxiety related disorders . Now, I’m only a little ways into quitting , so I’ll check back in, but so far : You expect quitting to be life changing . You’re told you have to give up all your triggers. But my triggers are partly, mostly, things I love. Coffee in the morning outside with my dog, a glass of wine on the porch with music , playing a game with online friends . Things I don’t want to give up. Things I won’t give up because quality of life matters too.
But the Shift changed the equation. I haven’t had to give up my “triggers” because I’m not just quitting nicotine, I’m replacing the habit with something healthy that actually reduces stress instead of creating this weird illusion of stress relief by feeling better only when I get a fix.
I’ll check back in in a month or three. Maybe my life will have Shifted even more.

“This review is addressing their customer service. A third part shop app rerouted my items to the US (I’m in Canada) they were attentive, responsive and kept you updated throughout the whole mix up. Mind you, this was not their fault yet they took responsibility. That’s the type of company I like to associated with. The product itself is great! Well crafted and well thought out. Excited to continue on with my health.”
“I bought this tool to help me transition away from smoking, and it is a great way to get the same sensation without any of the harmful chemicals. It creates a sense of peace and can really help you focus on breath work and meditation. The design is beautiful too!”
So sorry for the emails Jana. We do our best to keep it light but get excited about new products that we're rolling out. We're launching a new Komuso Method course soon as well which is free for you as a customer. I hope we're able to show you more value for being a part of our community. Be well.
“I have been using my Shift (sterling silver) for a few days now. I am absolutely blown away. I have my degree in Neuroscience and let me tell you, I was ecstatic to find that Komuso exists. I suffer from chronic anxiety and depression. I also am on my journey to quit vaping. The research, concept, culture, and availability of a tool like this is life changing for me. I have told my friends, family, and even my therapist about Komuso. Do not underestimate breathing... it is what gives us life. We can take control. Bless you creators of Komuso!!!”
