This study covers the benefits of intermittent fasting. A several day water fast should have as good if not better results. It makes sense to me that the harmful things we eat entering our cells could trigger the immune system to attack the cells harboring the toxins.
Studies show that intermittent fasting may have beneficial effects on various autoimmune diseases, such as type 1 diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, and systemic lupus erythematosus, by reducing inflammatory markers, modulating the immune system, altering and improving gut microbiota, and enhancing cellular repair mechanisms through autophagy.

What helped me quit was switching to American spirits to ween off the chemicals, and then when I actually quit, I took a sip of water whenever I wanted a smoke. There’s also a good sleep hypnosis to quit smoking on YouTube
We will look further into this, the wife likes to go down the rabbit hole and search options.

Lol, American Spirits? Love them! Been smoking them for 5-6 years.
