Perhaps in an ideal world - a world without environmental challenges, stress, pesticides and processed foods - cleansing wouldn't be necessary. But that simply isn't the case for most of us in the 21st century.

As you put a number of battles behind, the urges will subside and you will be long on your road to a healthier and happier, smoke free life.
