Help reverse effects of smoking without quitting?

[silkwings]

is there anything i can do to stay relatively healthy while smoking? as of now it's my way of coping but i also want to keep my body relatively stable so any advice will be happily accepted.

depends what effects you wish to "reverse". if you mean things like staining fingers, teeth falling out etc. you could get one of those rings with the cigarette holder so you dont have to actually hold the cigarette, brushing your teeth regularly could maybe prevent them falling out and might help with the smell. if you mean health problems like cancer, heart disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, blindness etc. those are par for the course with smoking, only way to prevent them would be to stop. i guess best thing to do would be to stay active and eat a healthy balanced diet to prolong the inevitability of developing those conditions.

Itll sound dumb but just smoke less, taper down to 2-3 a day. Even when a heavy nic user I could technically go a day or two before I really felt bad. Its good to 'fast' from nicotine, mind over matter kind of thing.

I quit cold turkey recently using bromantane, it raises endogenous dopamine production.

Heres another nootropic that you could try pairing with bromantane to get the effect.

Morning sunlight is free dopamine.

Swedish snus is a much healthier nic source vs smoking.

Nebulized glutathione if you want to clean your lungs out.

Sleep on your side so your lungs drain at night.

Your lungs will naturally fix themselves after you stop smoking, but its just hard on the whole body, its pretty evident in skin health.

Would you consider nicotine lozenges or gum? Or even vaping? I had a bad tobacco habit and switched from chewing tobacco and dip to nicotine replacement because I was really scared about mouth cancer. I am still addicted to the lozenges, but they are much less risky than tobacco.
