Diet & Lifestyle Advise

  • Tobacco inhibits the absorption of important vitamins, and nutrients, such as calcium, vitamins C and D. Thus, take more fruits and vegetables into the diet, which will help to restore these nutrients and reduce cravings to smoke.
  • Ginseng could weaken dopamine, a neurotransmitter in the brain that is connected with pleasure and is released during tobacco consumption. Taking ginseng tea could reduce the craving for smoking.
  • Chewing gum and mints are the best way to keep your mouth busy, especially when you feel the urge to smoke, so try to chew gums more.
  • Physical workouts can help a person overcome tobacco cravings. When a person gets involved in physical exercise like cycling, running, and walking, their attention gets diverted to exercise, and they do not feel the urge to take nicotine for some time.
