Vitamin B complex, plus extra B-12, at least 100mg a day. folic acid, and vitamin C- 3000mg or more. Smoking depletes your body of Vit. C. Vitamin A and beta-carotene will help in healing the lungs. If you like it, carrot juice will help you get the beta-carotene you need, but you should drink it everyday.If you don't like that, get the capsules or tablets. Take vitamin-E, 200IU daily,that's a good antioxidant, and Co enzyme Q10. Sounds like alot, but you've done alot of damage to yourself. And if you find a good health food store, where someone will take the time to help you, and not just sell you the most expensive product, then it shouldn't cost to much more than a carton of ciggs. And I'll bet you always found the $ for those.Now spend that to be good to yourself. Congrats on stopping. Get some sugar free gum for that "ORAL" satisfaction.

No! Good nutrition and a regular aerobic exercise program are recommended.

vitamin c will help but i'd rather you eat lots of fresh fruits and vegetables...nothing beats the naturals
