Can nutrition help you quit smoking?

A close friend of mine recently decided he would quit smoking, after years and years of, er, um, not quitting?

I'm very excited for him, and I wish there was more I could do to assist him. However, speaking realistically, its completely up to him. It's his mental state that is most important, and no amount of cajoling, harassment, persuading, or pleading is likely to make any difference.

However, because I wish him everything good, I want to offer this first hand account from someone who has been successful. It also lists some of the positive effects of making that quitting decision and commitment, physical effects that will be seen over time. Here are a couple of them, copied from the link above.

8 HOURS AFTER YOUR LAST SMOKE

-Carbon monoxide level drops to normal

-Oxygen level increases to normal

48 HOURS AFTER YOUR LAST SMOKE

-Nerve endings start regrowing

-Ability to smell and taste enhanced
