I Am Wondering If Niacin Will Help Flush Out Nicotine In My System Quicker
hi, I am quitting cigarettes and am wondering if niacin will help flush out nicotine in my system quicker. I want to rid my body of nicotine to help the process of quitting. Also will it help get rid of cotinine, a metabolite of nicotine. Thanks! Male 28 6'1\

Hi,thanks for query.First of all congratulation for making this great deal of quitting smoking ,it is very nice.You do not need to take any drug to remove nicotine from your system.Just take care for few weeks when you can have withdrawal symptoms due to this.You can take help from your doctor for this and he will help you with this.Take light diet,more of liquids,keep your self busy.All the best.
