The Best Natural Remedies to Quit Smoking

I am trying really really hard to give up this smoking addiction. I have been a smoker for the last 20 years and know that not only should I have not taken it up in the first place but I need to give it up now due to a potential cigarette related health issue (ENT visit coming up - very scared). It has been almost 24 hours since my last cigarette and I am climbing the walls with agitation and so have reached for the gum. I have been regularly taking the lemon/bicarb or the ACV/bicarb for months and hope the nicotine replacement doesnt upset this(Yes I know my smoking was probably messing with my attempts to alkalise but hoping to do better without the ciggies).

Can anyone tell me if or how nicotine gum will effect alkalising? Will the bicarb soda effect the gum at all? What else can I do to get my health back and take preventative measures against cancer?

QUOTE: Most smokers suffer from Vitamin E deficiencies. But when you give them an extra Vitamin C supplement (maybe one pill in the morning and 1 at night), this E deficiency goes away completely. Vitamin E is used in collagen production. End of Quote.

Hi Rich, I am confused by your opening paragraph. Maybe it's a typo. Shouldn't we take vitamin E if we are deficient instead of vitamin C? Or are we to take both?

I just quit smoking and would like to clean out and detox. Can you give me advice??

Hi Janice, and anyone wishing to detox after smoking. There is a tea you can buy at select pharmacies or health food stores. If you can't find it, try looking at online merchants. Anyway the main ingredients in the tea are: valerian root, sarsaparilla, st. john's wort, red clover, licorice, cinnamon, ginger, burdock, cloves, oregano, fennel, cayenne pepper, and black pepper I know it sounds far from delicious, but this concoction is supposed to help alleviate the emotional withdrawal symptoms and clear out the lungs.

It worked for me:
1. One must really want to stop smoking. Without it, no need to bother in trying to stop smoking.
2. for a first week I used nicorette patches, drank molases, ACV,
3. The first day without patch I was very nervous unable to concentrate,... So I cut a patch in half and used it for few hours and before bed time watched- listened a DVD with hypnosis: Stop smoking (English author it costed 5 EUR).
4. I socialize with smokers mostly, and they dont bother me at all.
