Drinking and Smoking

If you or someone you know is trying to kick the habit, change your drinking habits.

Duke University researchers find smokers who reported drinking milk or water or those who ate fruits and veggies worsened the taste of cigarettes. On the flip side, alcohol, coffee and meat enhances the taste. Dairy products, ie: milk or cheese, had the biggest negative effect on the taste of cigarettes.

The findings are in the April issue of the journal Nicotine and Tobacco Research ( I didn't knwo there was such a journal)

The researchers say, this is first study exploring the taste altering effects of food. But hey, what smoker doesn't know smokes go well with coffee or liquor?
But, for what it's worth, there's now a study and just maybe, it will help you kick the habit.
