Juicing! Flush flush flush away! Yes!
Would think this would also help people STOP smoking!!
Some people are just so addicted. It’s hard to stop. Then again, if this works and it takes out the nicotine from the body the craving might reduce.
How Lo ??

Nicotine and tar are confused with each other . People smoke for the nicotine but die from the tar. .. Nicotine occurs naturally in tomatoes and other vegetables in the nightshade family . It’s not the devil everyone makes it out to be .
oats… does not mention oats… which also make smoking taste bad.
Thanks for this Destiny DuPlessis and the best thing about the list love everything on it!
