Toxins Found In Cigarettes
Does anyone know a natural way to quit smoking cigarettes instore products don't seem to work?
I would love to quit smoking but I haven't been able to find a good product in the stores to help me. They all boast about their effectivness and maybe they work for some but I have smoked for years and they don't work for me. I would like to find some natural products that don't hurt my system and can take for as long as needed to kick this filthy habit.
Sincerely,

First off, congratulations for WANTING to quit smoking!!
As far as answering, there are a lot of ways, and it also depends on how long you've been smoking. The best ways are slowly lowering your dose (takes a long time sometimes), or going cold turkey (which is faster, but harder). Either way, the last thing is making the decision to quit, so you'll eventually have to deal with the withdrawal.
For the most part, when you deal with withdrawal, you'll just have to tough it out, but there are some things that can help cleanse out the toxins and may help to minimize some of the effects of withdrawal...
Drinking water will help to detox, and taking some supplements that work as cleansers may help as well. Specifically, Apple Cider Vinegar, Green Tea (decaffeinated), Chlorophyll (fantastic cleanser), and even good amounts of fiber and water helps some people (although it's not very comfortable for the lower level of detoxification you get).
All that being said, it's likely that the symptoms should stop relatively shortly after your last pill (it's never as long as it feels like it is). Your neurotransmitters don't take too terribly long to scream for something they are addicted to after you stop.
Another important thing to note is that no matter how bad it gets, taking more of the drug (and yes, nicotine is a drug) will only make the withdrawal last longer and will be harder on you in the long run. Good luck, and congrats again!
You may not know it, but nicotine has been used as a natural insecticide for decades. Each time you smoke, you inhale the same poison you may ...
