Frank's Original RedHot Sauce as Cigarette Substitute

[Enraged_Ape]

Someone on DU once said that they quit smoking by swigging Frank's Original Hot Sauce right out of the bottle whenever they craved a cigarette. (If it was one of you out there, please show yourself!)

You know what? I've tried this, and so far it helps! The hot sauce burns your mouth and throat just a little, sort of giving the same tactile stimulation a cigarette does. The feeling also lingers for a little bit, like a cigarette.

I don't know if the "Hot Sauce Solution" will work long-term all by itself. It may need supplementation with some sort of nicotine replacement therapy. But it's worth a shot.

1. It would also help curb the food cravings

I've read cajun pepper is supposed to curb the appetite

2. Whoa! Do you actually take a swig or does it help if you just kinda ...

tip a little on your tongue? I'm a wuss!

3. Nope, you actually swig it

Down the hatch!

4. I was afraid you'd say that! I'm off to the market, at this point I'll try

just about anything ('cept licking an ashtray).

Keep the tips coming, folks!

5. OMG! That's harsh stuff, but you DON'T want a cig for a good while ...

after! Into my arsenal it goes - Thank You!

(I think there is some aerobic benefit, as well - makes you breathe hard & fast for a while! LOL)

6. Glad you liked it

I wish I could remember who on DU suggested it. Maybe they'll surf by sometime.
