smokers
2 interactions related to smokers
smoking + vitamin c
Smoking increases oxidative stress and accelerates the body's turnover of vitamin C, leaving smokers with consistently lower blood and tissue levels of ascorbic acid than non-smokers eating the same diet. Because of this, expert nutrition bodies recommend that people who smoke aim for a higher daily vitamin C intake than non-smokers.

smoking + vitamin b12
Cigarette smoke can lower usable vitamin B12 by converting active coenzyme forms to inactive cyanocobalamin and by impairing gastric absorption, creating a low-grade nutritional draw rather than a dangerous reaction.
