What do a slice of cheese, a glass of water, and a plate of broccoli have in common?
According to new research, consuming any of these foods seems to diminish the taste of cigarettes. Well.....I'll be!!
The research also found that cigarette taste is enhanced after eating meat or drinking alcohol or beverages that contain caffeine. No more Atkins diets for me!!
Taken together, the discoveries raise the possibility of fashioning a so-called "smoker's diet"....... one that could help make quitting easier.
Fruits and vegetables, dairy products, and non-caffeinated drinks (such as water and juice) were among the foods most commonly cited as worsening the taste of a cigarette.
Also situations had a taste-diminishing impact, including taking medicines, hot weather, or smoking too much or too fast. Stale cigarettes and a smoky environment also dampened cigarette taste.
On the other hand, caffeinated drinks, alcohol and meat were most often highlighted as improving taste.
Anything is worth a try...
