Vitamin C

Phil, I read somewhere recently that if you dissolve some vitamin C powder in water and spray it into your mouth you will lose the craving for cigarettes. I don't smoke so I don't need to try it. It won't hurt you how often you do it but may stop you smoking.
Maybe you could try it and report back here?
Nicotine Gum
Posted by Trying To Quit (Sydney, Nsw, Australia) on 11/09/2010
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?
