How to speed up the process

It's no secret - smoking kills. While most of the harmful effects of smoking can be attributed to the chemicals and tar that's contained in tobacco smoke, the effects of nicotine should not be overlooked. Millions of people suffer from an addiction to cigarettes. Because of this, it's easy to see why nicotine is considered one of the most addictive drugs available. Like most drugs, it stays in the body, even when you are not smoking.

The length of time it stays in the body largely depends on how regular of a smoker you are. For people who only smoke once in a while, traces of nicotine can be gone in just a few days. However for someone who smokes several packs a day, it will take a lot longer. Generally these heavy smokers can expect to have traces of nicotine in their blood stream for up to 30 days after the last cigarette is smoked.

The good news is there are natural ways of accelerating the process.

: Vitamin C is an antioxidant that has been known to help as well. In this way, not only is a person helping themselves to get the drug out of their system quicker, but also helping themselves to get their bodies healthier in the process.

The Effects Of Sleep Deprivation

  • Try a Light Snack - Some people find it helps if they have a small snack before going to bed. L-tryptophan is a natural sleep aid found in foods such as turkey and warm milk.
  • Do Not Oversleep or Sleep In - This is a common misconception. Getting more than your necessary amount of sleep will actually make you feel groggy throughout the entire day. Also, while it may be tempting to sleep in, or "catch up on sleep" over the weekends, it is actually better for you, if you wake up at the same time each day, even if you got to bed really late the night before.
  • Create a Bedtime Ritual - Take some time to relax and de-stress before you go to bed. Create some type of a bedtime ritual to prepare your mind and body for bed and create a break between the stresses of the day and your time of rest. Try some light reading, meditation, aromatherapy, a warm bath, soft music, or anything that helps you unwind and get ready to sleep.
  • Avoid Caffeine - Caffeine is a stimulant. We know this as we have our morning coffee. What may not be so apparent is how long caffeine can stay in a persons system - up to fourteen hours. A cup of coffee at noon can have you still wide awake at midnight. Avoid caffeine at least four to six hours prior to bedtime.
