Title: Quitting smoking?
Post by: ehd123 on Mar 8, 2014
I am not sure how relevant this is, but I read somewhere that if someone is to quit smoking,
we should take them to a sauna for 3 days, and let them "sweat the nicotine out!" This helps making quitting easier..

Does this really work?

Nicotine is eliminated through liver and kidneys, not skin!

Best way is to phase it out by decreasing your daily tolerance. Thrylix makes a good point, since nicotine is not secreted in one's tears or sweat.

I tink chewing gum, chewing toothpicks, and straws will help reduce the amount of smoking.

I know a few friends that would smoke so much. They replaced it with "vaping". I don't know if that's a healthy way to cope the smoking addiction, but they seem  healthier just by the facial complexion. Then again, i don't know any research regarding health and "vaping".
