> If you're a smoker and you're taking a standard multivitamin, you

may be harming yourself. Regular multivitamins are formultated to

meet the health needs of non-smokers. Smokers need to think about

their nutrition differently than non-smokers because smoking puts a

unique kind of stress on the body.

> Regular Multivitamins contain beta-carotene (Vitamin-A). If you're

a smoker beta-carotene can be hazardous to your health.

> Two extensive medical studies, the Finnish Alpha-Tocopherol and

Beta-Carotene Study, and the American Carotene and Retinol Efficacy

Trial have produced compelling evidence that beta-carotene is linked

to higher risk of lung cancer in smokers. These studies were intended

to see if beta-carotene would be helpful in reducing the harmful

effects of smoking, but the results showed the opposite. People in

these studies who took beta-carotene supplements were at a higher

risk of contracting cancer than the people who weren't taking beta-

carotene.

immediately and switch to Nicomate.
