FAQs: Smoking and Prescription Medication

Q: I smoke. Do I have to cut this out too?

A: Smokers have different experiences than nonsmokers do during Clean. Some use it as a chance to quit cold turkey. Others find that smoking starts to lose its appeal as their palate and sensitivity to toxins opens up. At the very least, many naturally become more mindful of each cigarette, just as they are becoming more mindful of food. Even if you make no changes in your cigarette consumption, go ahead and do the whole program, knowing you are boosting your detoxification ability and creating a “clean canvas” in your body where you may just start to feel the effects of cigarettes in a different way. Smoking affects detoxification by accelerating phase 1 in the liver and it will detract from your achieving the best results.

Q: I am taking medication prescribed by my doctor. Should I stop taking it?

A: If you are taking any kind of prescription drug, do not stop taking it during this program. Many prescription drugs can be safely stopped, but some cannot. Certain serious conditions require a consistent level of medication in the blood. Any change in diet can cause a change in the medication’s absorption rate, which can result in a higher or lower concentration in the blood. In the case of blood thinners, antiarrhythmic drugs, antiepileptic drugs, and chemotherapy agents, this can be life-threatening.
