I am a smoker who has been really trying to quit. I have been doing NBE for about 2 months now using PM and NG. I havnt had any really dramatic results. I know smoking can hinder NBE, but am wondering if anybody did grow while still a smoker. I really[/quote] want to quit, but its hard. I was really addicted to caffeine and just stopped that so the smoking is the next hurdle for me.
Hi Petitemomma!
Sorry I can't really answer your question directly, but I was looking into herbs to help stop smoking recently for a friend. And I know there might be a few herbs out there that could be helpful both for NBE and quitting smoking.
Avena Sativa (aka. Oats) supposedly reduces nicotine cravings and balances mood. Works against nervousness, fatigue, anxiety. And Isabelle has used it in her program. I am unsure what the exact effect of it is, though
here and
here she has mentioned it, as both a phyto-estrogen and an androgen ("(because it decreases SHBG, releasing free testosterone)"). So if you want to stick to PM, oats might not be a good choice since it might compromise the effects of PM. Though I have read some on the board got growth spurts from using PM and the phyto-estrogen hops.
I don't know if that was any help at all. Maybe somebody else could have use for it. At least that's an idea, to use herbs that are beneficial to NBE and quitting smoking. Might take a little research though
I am a smoker as well. I am using UB and Enhance system which is similar to the NB. I used brava before, and still had growth. my growth seems to be doing ok right now. My breasts are filling out at the top right now which is very normal when starting a program. I also want to quit smoking though it is not an easy thing to do. do not get discouraged because you could just be a slow responder.
I'm a smoker and am still seeing results but it makes me wonder if my results would be even better if I quit. I drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy which I think is super important when it comes to NBE.
I smoke and have been taking bs for 5 weeks and maca for almost 2 weeks and have grown abou
t 3/4 of a cup size!!!
almost a C yea!! Going shoppin I hope soon!!!
