Help with healing

I am interested in healing my body from the damage that I have done with the smoking. Does anyone know what kinds of vitamens may be useful, or what vitamens are the most depleted when you smoke?

I know that Vitamin C gets seriously depleted each day by cigarette smoking.  Maggie

Probably your best bet is go to the dr and have them do a vitamin panel, then you know exactly which ones you need.  If you can't afford that then a regular multi vitamin along with a nutritious diet and some patience for letting your body heal itself.  I don't know if it has anything to do with smoking or not, but over the last few years I developed a b complex deficiency and now have to get shots for it.

You could Google it. I think if you are in good health, you should eat a balanced diet, exercise and take a multi-vitamin. Your body know exactly what it needs to do and will do it, as long as you never smoke again. Best wishes to you.  😃

Is extremely addictive when smoked Is extremely addictive when chewed
Causes addiction as permanent as alcoholism Is harder to quit than heroin or cocaine
Is not medicine and its use not therapy Is ineffective as a stand-alone quitting aid
Prevents pre-cancerous cells from dying Accelerates cancer tumor growth rates
Contributes to artery hardening Has a metabolite which may cause cancer
May kill brain cells and impair memory Is linked to lung cancer
Likely causes brain damage and depression Is also a fetus destroying teratogen
Kills half of adult smokers 13-14 years early Is beat by never taking another puff or chew!
    
    


Some of us  like to believe that if we smoke again it is a lack of will power,  Me I personally don't believe in the will power concept, But if it works for anyone and they don't smoke keep doing it.  All I am saying is that I believe that a being greater than myself is helping me maintain my QUIT.  This is  something I can't do alone!  So I would like to thank all of you for the comments and support. Click on any link above and you will be informed more about this addiction of nicotine. GOOD LUCK TO ALL OF US.
