If you’ve ever been smoker then you know it’s really really hard to kick the habit, so when I read that certain foods can help—or hurt—your chances of quitting, I knew I had to pass along the information.  Here’s the scoop:

According to a study out of Duke University, these 4 foods make cigarettes taste terrible:

• Fruits
• Vegetables
• Dairy Products
• Noncarbonated beverages, such as water and fruit juice

These three foods make cigarettes taste better (avoid!):

• Meat
• Coffee
• Alcoholic beverages

Researchers can’t explain why, but they think that foods may alter saliva production and temporarily change taste buds in a way that makes cigarettes more or less palatable.  Here are other tips to help you quit.
