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.

Five reasons why ReplenishMints™ are right for smokers.

1 – ReplenishMints™ are long lasting mints.  A smoker's mint has to last a long time, until the lungs are cleared of lingering tobacco smoke. Our long-lasting mints are more effective at refreshing smoker's breath than most breath mints which last less than a minute.

2 – ReplenishMints™ have the right nutrients in the right doses. Because tobacco smoke introduces oxidants to the body, smokers need antioxidants to neutralize the oxidants. But, just any old nutrient supplements won't do. Because leading brand multi-vitamins contains beta carotene, and beta carotene has been shown to be harmful to smokers.

3 - the nutrients are absorbed under the tongue, and so they reach the body faster plus more of the nutrients make it into your body than if the nutrients were delivered with a pill through the digestive tract.

4 - nutrients are delivered throughout the day rather than once a day. Since smokers use tobacco throughout the day loading the body with oxidants, you want to keep your antioxidant levels high throughout the day as well. With a once-a-day pill taken in the morning, you get peak nutrient levels in the blood within an hour or so, but then it drops off until the next morning. That's not what smokers need.

5 - delivering the nutrients in gum or mint form fits a smoker's lifestyle. So rather than making a smoker take a pill, since smokers are already use gums and mints, all they have to do is get the right mints, ReplenishMints™.
