Why are cigarettes bad for you?
Each puff of tobacco smoke contains billions of harmful substances called “radical oxygen species” or simply, oxidants. Oxidants are missing an electron and they have a powerful ability to grab an electron from body tissue. 

The body protects itself from oxidants with things called, antioxidants. Antioxidants have electrons to give away. So, when they donate an electron to the oxidant, the oxidant is neutralized and the body is protected from harm. 

Now, things are fine as long as there is a balance of oxidants and antioxidants in the body. The problem occurs, with tobacco smoke containing so many oxidants that the antioxidant defense system is overwhelmed. This results in a condition called “oxidative stress.” So what ReplenishMints™ do is they are designed to restore the antioxidant defense system in your body.
