the first cigarette?

Question

how long does a cigarette last in the body?

Answer 1

the nicotene lasts 24 to 48 hours. as far as the effects like making you cough and such, that is the body's way of telling you it is toxic and to avoid it. but, if you keep smoking, the body builds up a tolerance to it and adapts, so that smoking more will not affect you as much. that is how people are able to smoke a lot and not cough and feel ill. nicotene produces acetylcholine in the brain, which is what gives the calming effect. if you take vitamin B-5 and choline, it produces that same chemical. also, the book Life Extension by Durk Pearson and Sandy Shaw has a smoker's formula to lessen the bad effects of smoking. i don't condone smoking and neither do they, but there are certain nutrients you can take to combat the bad effects.

Smoking, Drinking, Aging & Cancer
80% of all internal cancers are due to a class of chemicals (polynuclear hydrocarbons) found in tobacco smoke, which cause mutations in DNA. Acetaldehyde, found in the blood stream of drinkers, (produced in the liver from alcohol) is also found in tobacco smoke. Studies show that drinkers and smokers are very inclined to premature aging (wrinkling, mental decline, liver damage, cancer, and heart disease).

Probably the most powerful inhibitor of such cancer formation and premature aging is a formulation containing selenium, which has proven to suppress the formation of cancers so effectively that the National Cancer Institute recommends smokers take it daily. Epidemiologic studies show that cancer rates would decrease by 70%. Studies, at Darthmouth Medical School, on the effects of Selenium, show that rats lived well beyond their normal maximum life span of 3 1/2 years. Some lived 48 months and one lived to an age of 5 years and 5 days. Translated to human terms that's the equivalent to 160 years.

Experiments by Dr. H. Sprince where 90% of rats fed acetaldehyde died, showed that when the same dose of acetaldehyde is fortified with two powerful immune building compounds; Thiamine and Cysteine, none of the rats died.

Nicotine increases cholesterol and causes blood vessels to constrict, resulting in higher blood pressure. Nicotinic acid however, (a related compound) actually reverses the damage caused by nicotine. It not only lowers blood pressure by dilating the constricted vessels, but it also lowers cholesterol.

It Follows that a formula consisting of (50 mcg. Seleno Methionie; 50 mcg. Seleno Di Glutathione; 100 mcg. Sodium Selenate); 100 mcg. Nicotinic Acid; 100 mcg. Thiamide and 100 mcg. Cysteine; would considerably reverse the damage caused by smoking and alcohol. Such a "detoxification formula" taken in conjunction with the free radical quenching Life Extension Formula, (Since it has all the antioxidants proven to help prevent cancer, kidney disease, brain damage; and significantly retard aging by counteracting free radicals), couldn't help but make it much safer for those who insist on smoking and/or drinking.

99% of the published research on Selenium's effectiveness in the prevention of cancer, heart disease, cataracts, cystic fibrosis, muscular dystrophy, and arthritis; as well as slowing down the aging process, is attributed to Sodium Selenate.

Sodium Selenate is a proven superior, safe 100% natural, hypoallergenic, yeast free source of Selenium.

This formulation, developed to detoxify smokers i.e. (to remove the poisons and undo the harm caused by smoking) also reduces the effects of the headaches and wooziness of hangovers. By taking this detoxification formula at the right time, you can clean up the excessive "free-radical" activity caused by smoking. It is best to protect your cells against the toxicity that alcohol and tobacco produce by taking this detoxification formula soon before or after you drink or smoke.

Answer 2

Ex smoker, 40 a day. When you stop smoking it takes 3 to 4 days for the nicotine to be gone from your body. Takes years for the habit to go. Not saying you are, but if your thinking about taking up smoking, please don't, your tied to the addiction of the cigarette more than you can leave a no door metal room. Once you start it's a REAL addiction. Seems really easy and so harmless when your having a few puffs, but it ruins your life. Ex smokers will tell you the same.
