Re: Can I still smoke on this diet?

One of the reasons I am doing the cleanse is to help rid my body of the toxins that I've built up from smoking over the past several years. I quit smoking recently (no small feat, but you already know that...) and now I want to lose weight and be healthy.

I would be extremely nervous in smoking while I was on this. When you cleanse, you are tearing away all these layers of bad stuff that have come from smoking, drinking, potato chips, etc. I would think that if you were to smoke while on the cleanse, it would hurt you worse than help you...it would be like making a cut on your arm and then pouring rubbing alcohol in it...you have all this new, most likely sensitive, surface area and you poison it with the smoke toxins...doing the cleanse would be as good a time as any to stop...

Good luck in your decision...
