Guest guest Posted June 5, 2003 Report Share Posted June 5, 2003 Hi Angel, I won't say tough it out, I'll say flush it out! Nicotine stores in your fat cells, and it is murder to detox. Fruit juice is one of the best ways to start flushing that out. It would be worth buying even a cheap juicer, and juice multiple times a day. Since I know some people can't go cold turkey, get a filter pac that has a series of filters you can use to wean yourself off the nicotine. Others might have better idea's. Good Luck, Kathe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 5, 2003 Report Share Posted June 5, 2003 Hi Angel, The only real way to quit cigarettes for me was to go cold turkey. I temporarily swapped addictions and started sucking on hard candies to keep my mouth busy. Seems that was the hardest part. Finally settled on Altoids (peppermint). I have no idea how peppermints or peppermint tea would affect a pregnant mother. They did help me is all I know. After smoking for about 24 yrs, I've now been off cigarettes for 5 1/2 yrs. I can't stand their stench now. It takes a while, but it's definitely worth it! Your baby will be all the better for it too! It also seems that my digestion works better since I've been off cigs too. Hang in there - the first few days are the toughest. It gets easier as you go! Good Luck!

Guest guest Posted June 5, 2003 Report Share Posted June 5, 2003 Well..... this will sound funny... but with my goats to dry up the milk we use mint, peppermint in leaf form or tincture.... mint will dry up the milk production... so I don't know whether that is a good choice or not.......
