Smoking is a bad habit that significantly damages your health. Cigarette smoke contains nicotine, which can lead to heart, lung, and hypertension problems.
Additionally, it hastens the development of metabolic syndrome, type 2 diabetes, and insulin sensitivity; even after quitting, it stays in the body. Additionally, nicotine lowers the levels of adrenal and sex hormones and interferes with pituitary and thyroid functions.
Ten seconds after inhaling nicotine, it enters the skin, mouth, lungs, and mucus layer before traveling through the blood to the brain.
The following foods can help you cleanse the body of nicotine:
Water- it detoxes the body through the skin and rehydrates it from dehydrating nicotine. Make sure you consume 8-12 glasses daily.
Carrot juice is high in vitamin B, C,A,K, and detoxifies the body, and makes the skin smooth, fresh, and glowing.
Orange- it is high in vitamin C and other nutrients, and reduces stress and treats anxiety
Broccoli- it is high in B5 and C vitamin which are beneficial for the lungs

Spinach- It is high in vitamins and folic acid, and after its consumption, the taste of tobacco is disgusting.
Therefore, consume these foods if you want to quit smoking or at least to freshen the body and cleanse it from the harmful nicotine.
