Water

Nature's Finest Quit Smoking Aid

Water is critical for the human body to function properly. It makes up two-thirds of our body weight, and every cell and organ depends on it. Without water, a person would die within just a few days.

When we quit smoking, water eases several of the discomforts associated with nicotine withdrawal:

• Constipation
• Coughing
• Hunger/urge to eat
• Cravings to smoke

Water also helps flush residual nicotine out of the body, and by keeping yourself well-hydrated, you'll feel better overall. That can only help as you make your way through the discomforts of nicotine withdrawal.

• Drinking Water to Maintain Good Health
