This is kind of strange. We had no idea that Leonard DiCaprio and Robert Pattinson were even pals, let alone acquaintances. We might take this with a grain of salt…

Apparently Leo has persuaded Rob to quit smoking, with the help of e-cigarettes.

Bad breath sure stinks, but lung cancer stinks worse!

FitPerez reader Samuel made the right decision and quit smoking recently, but he's suffering from bad breath, which is a common side effect of quitting tobacco.

He came to the right place for advice to get rid of it and wrote smoking counselor Craig Nabat, asking:

Hi Craig,

I quit smoking a month ago and I have been getting really bad breathe? How long will this last?

According to Craig:

Hello Samuel,

To still be experiencing bad breath one month after quitting is pretty unusual. If you haven’t snuck a cig here and there over the past month, you should be in the clear by now, because all of the toxins have left your system.

You may want to try one of these two breath freshener products, Therabreath or Mint Asure. Each of these products can provide you with fresher breath that should also help inspire you to stay off smoking. Keep one of these products near to you at all times. Just do a Google search for them.

We always recommend to our Freedom Laser Therapy clients that it is a good idea to get your teeth professionally cleaned once you quit smoking. The former smoker loves experiencing their clean teeth and a fresh mouth again.

Best regards,

Craig

One thing that people don't realize is how terrible second hand smoke is when you're not a smoker. And guess what? Even smokers that quit are finally able to notice it too!

The thing is, smokers don't usually know that this happens:

Quit smoking 6 months ago but literally cant stand second hand smoke - is this supposed to happen?

Here's Craig Nabat's response, one of the leading sources on quitting smoking:

I understand how you feel. I’m like that now too, it kind of makes you angry when you smell it. Smokers don’t realize they are actually forcing non-smokers to smoke, if they are smoking around them. Now that you are not smoking, your own sense of smell has come back. Smokers are not usually aware of how truly foul the smell is to others of their smoke cloud that surrounds them.

This is a good thing that you can’t stand the smell now, if more people were offended by second-hand smoke, it would definitely cause more smokers to quit. Second-hand smoke is actually more dangerous than the smoke that is inhaled; most smokers are unaware of this. So many of our clients who come into Freedom Laser Therapy to quit smoking declare that they feel like a social outcast for smoking, and it is one of the main reasons driving them to quit.

We're all super glad you quit, first and foremost!

And it's interesting that this happens — and we wonder what it would be like if all smokers knew this. Would people still do it?

Probably, but we'd like to think it'd they'd be few and far between!
