Thats right! I use to be a smoker n quit cold turkey n now find that tea black n orange peko hot or ice tea has the same calming relaxing effect as cigs. It is addicting to but doenst cause cancer. Its also a uptake inhibator n makes you feel good. I hope this helps those who want to quit who r weak n cant do cold turkey. Good luck to all you can do it!!!!!

Nicotine and caffeine are both stimulants. Unfortunately some smokers love coffee or tea and a smoke at the same time. Makes it harder to quit one without quitting both. That was my problem, but managed to quit the smokes.

No but tea does cause very painful kidney stones

@manondago: unfortanatley your nasty so could care less about you. Start smoking again would you.

i havent had that problem yet.

Oxalic acid in tea binds with calcium which can in some people form kidney stones. Oxalic acid in tea, turkish rhubarb,etc. Is good for late stage cancer patients when they have elevated levels of calcium in their blood which causes delerium. I'm gonna stop now. Lol I get going on this stuff and can't stop.

I just used the ignore/dump on the OP of this thread. Does that ever work!!!! My first time. It will always be special.
