The 'cigarette hangover' and how it worsens smoking addiction


by S. D. Wells

(NaturalNews) Just about anyone who has had "too much to drink" knows about the alcohol hangover, where you have an excruciating headache and your body does NOT want you to do anything that requires energy. The first thing you do when you wake up with a hangover is reach for some water and pain reliever.



Millions of smokers worldwide have "found themselves" in a similar, vicious cycle where they pollute their body with 4,000 chemicals, and then wait about 30 to 45 minutes for the hangover to kick in, at which time they go outside and take a "nicotine" aspirin, which means lighting up some commercial-rolled GMO tobacco chock full of ammonia, bleach, pesticide, insecticide, herbicide and carpet glue ("firesafe"), and inhale, hold, then exhale about a dozen times.

Since the cigarette manufacturing "chem-labs" began using ammonia, the nicotine hits the brain and heart within 3 seconds, and the smoker's dopamine levels go up rapidly, providing feelings of elation, relaxation, or pep, depending on the length of the drag (inhale). This immediate relief from the CNS hangover (central nervous system hangover) is almost a must for the pack-a-day smoker to function on a reasonable level.

A smoker must alkalize the body and stay alkalized to be able to quit with hopes of staying smoke free for good. This means changing eating, drinking, and most of all, supplementing habits.

Since most people cannot quit cold turkey without help, the key to cessation lives in an alkalized body, which is fostered by natural spring water, organic vegetables, and a natural herb that raises the dopamine and serotonin levels in the body, removing the craving of the FEELING that nicotine used to bring them.
