Smile BEWARE of Smoke Away Pills

I am please to meet all of you. YT is such an awesome site. Everyone is so warm and welcoming. I know from reading some of the post, some people may use the Smoke Away pills. There's been a lot of talk about this product. First off, these pills are NOT FDA approved. There has been NO SCIENTIFIC DATA to support that these pills work. Although the product claims to be "herbal" a lot of herbal items aren't really healthy. In the smoke away pills, there are a lot of chemicals and ingredients that are harmful to your health and can instead pollute your lungs with other carcinogens. Recently there have been a LAWSUIT AGAINST SMOKE AWAY. Just google it up and you'll find the news on it. The lawsuit against SMOKE AWAY for MISLEADING INFO. A lot of the result is just placebo.The best thing to do for herbal remedy is to drink tea with licorice root to satisfy cravings and to clean the body of things like nicotine and tar faster from the body. We get rid of nicotine through various methods i.e sweating and urination. Sinc tea is a diuretic, it helps speed up the process. Avoiding caffeine and sweets helps to decrease cravings from happening because quitting smoking affect your blood sugar level. So stick to things like decaf teas and beverages. For people that smoke menthols, rubbing vicks vapor rub onto the chest area provides a menthol sensation to satisfy cravings. Sucking on menthol cough drops gives the throat a cool menthol sensation...as if you're smoking. A lot of times when you have a craving, it's not the nicotine that you want, it's the sensation of smoking. Most cravings last on avg of 7mins whether or not you smoke. But the episode may come every half hour or so. The main thing is keep yourself distracted/busy and it'll happen less often. I hope some of these advice help. If anyone need more tips/advice or have any questions. Feel free to email me. There's a lot of NRT out there that isn't advertise but is via rx only..i.e nicotine nasal spray and inhalers
Good Luck!!
