The first three days are the hardest when quitting smoking, so you will need all the allies and tricks you can muster to get through this infamous period. One of these allies is acidic fruit juice, with cranberry juice being highly recommended, although any acidic fruit juice that is your personal favorite will suffice.

So how does acidic fruit juice help someone through early withdrawal symptoms from nicotine? Well, acidic fruit juice will accelerate the removal of alkaloid nicotine from your bloodstream, as well as helping to stabilize blood sugars. During the first 72 hours of quitting smoking anything that can cut that intense period of craving down will be welcome, trust me. If you have tried quitting smoking before you will know exactly what I am talking about here.

Yes, fruit juice is fattening, so downing generous amounts of fruit juice beyond the 72 hour initial quitting period will not be the best idea. You may gain half a pound in weight, although I personally think that if it saves your life, what the heck; you can always burn the caloric equivalent off with exercise after you stop smoking anyhow within a week.
