Every time you smoke, toxic gases pass into your lungs and then into your bloodstream and spread to every organ in the body. A cigarette is made using Turkish tobacco leaves that contain nicotine and various other compounds. When tobacco and compounds are burned, they release more than 40 dangerous chemicals known to cause cancer.
Cigarette smoke contains carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxide and trace amounts of cancer-causing radioactive particles from toxic gases. All types of tobacco, including cigars, pipes, chewing tobacco, and smokeless tobacco, are dangerous.
Nicotine is a Turkish tobacco-dependent chemical that evokes a pleasurable sensation in the brain. Repeated nicotine intake desensitizes the brain, asking for more and more nicotine to feel normal.

NUTRIENTS THAT CAN HELP BODY DETOX

Turmeric, also known as the’ golden spice’, also helps to clean our lungs thanks to its anti-inflammatory (anti-inflammatory) properties.
We know the adage ”an Apple a day keeps the doctor away from home.” It contains a wide range of flavonoids, vitamins and antioxidants, especially vitamin C, which helps us effectively fight lung diseases.
It contains a compound called allicin, which acts as a potent antibiotic agent and helps to overcome respiratory infections that clog our lungs.

Broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, Brussels sprouts, etc. it is rich in vitamin C, which strengthens our immune system.
Fruits (oranges, lemons, pomegranates) and vegetables (carrots, celery, cucumbers, zucchini, eggplant)
Smoking inhibits the absorption of important nutrients such as calcium mineral and vitamins C and D. Even just one cigarette smoked means emptying 25 mg of vitamin C from the body.
Research suggests that eating more fruits and vegetables will both supplement the reduced stores of vitamins and minerals and help reduce the desire to smoke. When you start to quit smoking, the food starts to taste better, and the flavors are more pronounced, you enjoy the food more.
Some research suggests that ginseng may be therapeutic for nicotine addiction because ginseng can weaken the effect of dopamine, a neurotransmitter that is associated with pleasure in the brain and is left when smoking tobacco. Drinking ginseng tea can reduce the attractiveness of smoking and make it less enjoyable.
In studies, most smokers reported that drinking milk gave their cigarettes a bitter, pungent taste and worsened their taste. So drinking milk can be a help to stay away from smoking.
When quitting smoking, you may feel a constant urge to snack. Because you can’t keep your hands and mouth busy with cigarettes, and you’re looking for other things. If you have an increased appetite or feel like you can’t stop eating, the American Heart Association’s recommendation is to eat popcorn.
Not only does it keep you busy, it also reduces the urge to smoke by helping you feel full. 1 cup fat-free / unsalted popcorn contains only 65 calories, and when you explode, the preoccupation increases with the time it takes.
The American Heart Association recommends frozen black grapes to prevent sugar crises that occur after quitting smoking. As it is frozen, it is concluded that both a certain period of time will pass to eat and sugar cravings will be suppressed.
Cinnamon stick gives a good taste and offers a calorie-free solution. There are also suggestions that he will keep it away from smoking, as it can be kept in hand and played.
Knowing what not to consume when trying to quit smoking will also help. Alcohol, caffeine, meat, sugary or spicy foods increase the taste of smoking and encourage drinking.
