1. Beta-carotene has been found to increase the risk of lung cancer in smokers. This is a common ingredient in multi-vitamins.

2. Smokers have a high level of chromium in their bodies. This too is common in multi-vitamins and could possibly cause carcinogenic levels in smokers.

3. Cigarette smoke contains thiocyanate, a chemical that can interfere with the thyroid’s ability to use iodine. Again, this can be an ingredient found in multi-vitamins on the market today. Therefore, smokers may not be able to sufficiently metabolize the iodine.

4. Smoking depletes the body of many essential nutrients at much higher rates than non-smokers. This creates a need for higher levels of some supplements.

5. Antioxidants would be very beneficial to smokers to help rid the body of free-radicals which contribute to the formation of some illnesses.
With the above information, you can understand the unique nutritional needs of smokers.

What can a smoker do to meet their specific needs, but at the same time not provide ingredients that will be harmful for the smoker?
