I've been raw vegan for 12 days & I've been experiencing quite a bit of the normal detox maladies though at times they are rather acute and/or gross.

Until yesterday afternoon. As I was preparing for work, I noticed the tip of one of my fingers was a bit orange in color. Didn't think too much of it but while I was working I kept smelling cigarette smoke odors. Which is VERY odd because I haven't smoked for TEN years and every place I deliver to is non smoking. It was so bad at one point that I was sniffing & digging all around the cab of my truck to see if someone hid some old cigarette butts in there. Nothing. Around mid shift, I washed up and saw that 2 of my fingers were very orangish-yellow, so I did what any guy would do. I sniffed them. PEEEUUWW!! Cigarette smoke!!

I had smoked for 23 years but quit TEN (10!) years ago. But now, after finally going raw, my system has a chance to purge that stuff out. Amazing!!

I'm a believer!!
(yes, I tried to wash/scrub the stench away, it only returns w/in 30 minutes)

that is pretty wild isnt it .. sure makes you wonder what is locked in the fat stores of your bodies

glad you got to experience this even if it drove ya nuts for a bit thanks for sharing that !!
