The vit suppliments are fine, it may also help him to drink nettle tea.
The herbal teas are available in most health shops;

Vit c is water soluble and you only retain what your body needs to you cannot overdose on it. Bit B is a complex vitamin but one tablet a day will not do him any harm.

Vits are not going to do him any damage at all if he takes them whilst he's quitting. As for peppermint tea, I can't help as I'm not in the US, but perhaps your local health food shop might stock it if you can't find it in any big supermarket

vitamins aren't like drugs you can mix them up a plenty. In fact you should everyone needs Vitamins C and B for a healthy lifestyle. The best way to get these vitamins is to improve your eating habits not to take supplements. Eat plenty of fruit and veg and a balanced amount of meat.

of course of course. infact, include this in his diet. vitamins will help strengthen the body by providing nourishment which was depleted when he was smoking. example, a stick of cig destroys about 25mg of vit c. so if he is quiting, help him more by providing more nourishment, fruits and vegies and lots of vitamins and minerals. tea, of course is available in walmart. or any store selling alternative medicines too.

those teas are at the local grocery stores they aren't anything unusual. Vitamins are always good to take anytime.
But really if he is long time smoker the best way is with the patch and Wellbutrin, you can get both from the doctors and its much easier than anything else my guy tried.

vitamin c and b can be taken together. But if your concerned you can take one and the other a few hours appart. All this stuff is available at walmart and even the grocery store.

when quitting smoking it is important to have a good diet, supplements will help and they are OK to use, tell him to drink extra water, as the throat can dry quickly when trying to quit, try some relaxation techniques also.
