Detoxification requires that all traces of
nicotine and other chemicals found in tobacco products are eliminated from your body. Tobacco
withdrawal symptoms must be addressed and treated in order to get past the
detox stage and into recovery.
As with any addiction, recovery from nicotine and tobacco addiction is difficult to accomplish alone. Joining a program with others who are working to detox from tobacco addiction and move past the withdrawal symptoms can ensure you have a better chance at success.
Exercising frequently will also help detox your body of the damaging chemical load from cigarettes. Exercise improves circulation, cell regeneration and the release of toxins from the body. Your body excretes chemicals in your sweat, and drinking water after a workout provides your cells with clean, chemical-free water. As you start exercising more you'll begin to regain the lung capacity you lost while
smoking.
