Hi there, well it's after midnight here, so it's basically sunday morning!

I think the problem is, we are talking about very different cigarettes. THe anti smoking agenda is probably justifiable when you consider the poisons added to the modern day cigarettes. Perhaps thiswould not have been needed years ago.

The ones you use, seem to be far better. I can't believe you smoke a pack a day! Wow and obviousy for you this works and who knows, maybe for me it might. I would be wary to do anything right now with how ill I am from smoking a packet last time (but again, I smoked the typical toxic one, pall mall menthol). Good thing you are using vitamin C like that. Wise move.

Basically, my reaction to smoking a packet of cigarettes has been horrific, this cannot be good right? Still suffering now. So certainly, the type of cigarettes and how many are smoked makes all the difference.

I am also one of those people that I retain toxins and do not eliminate properly. I can be exposed to a toxin and become ill for long periods of time, while someone else won't notice a thing. I have to be very careful.

Certainly it seems that smoking does stimulate the gluathione production, and this seems that it would encourage mercury elimination at the sametime. I would have thought it would add to the load, but again this must depend on what type of cigarette is smoked.

Sounds like you are consuming stuff that is beneficial for you and again, a lot of it is how it's prepared and what form it's in and as you said, doing things in moderation. As with the coffee too. It's like fat, we had the modern day dieticians tell us it's all bad, eat low fat or no fat diets. now they are beginning to go back to the old ways and realising that fat is very necessary and the healthiest fats are Butter, lard, extra virgin olive oils, organic coconut oils etc. All the stuff they always used to eat once upon a time, including the full fat creams.

I am now consuming these fats and doing better than I was before it. There is no doubt they have helped.

Oneday I may try the smokes you've recommended, but I live in New Zealand, so I don't think we'd have those ones! Again, I'd never smoke too much if I tried again. I've learned my lesson in that area and also the type of smokes. I am very tempted to try the old fashioned type ones though, the roll your owns oneday.
