No: Khat addiction is like benzodiazepine addiction: Withdrawal may be unpleasant but it won't kill you. You need a PLAN with a quit date & supportive people around you. But regardless of anything else, there's no magic pill that allows you to avoid being a grownup. The responsibility for not buying or accepting it & putting it into your mouth ultimately rests on your will power & no one else's.
