Yes a cigarette will clear the digestive system out , but you have to eat it rather than smoke it to get the full effect. Ipecac has the same effect and some left-over perishables like rice pudding made with eggs, milk, sugar and raisins…baked til browning on top, then left  overnight exposed on the kitchen counter to consume for breakfast. Delicious, and tastier than eating a cigarette with the same effect.      

Roman customs are so under rated according to my mom.

Nothing good comes out of cigarette smoking, with perhaps the one exception of making the after taste of an alcoholic drink taste better.

Yes and so does Metamucil but Metamucil is better for you in the long run. Smoking is expensive.....

..and cocaine will clean out your sinuses.  Both REALLY REALLY BAD ideas!!!!!!!!!!!!!! There are many safe food, herbal, and over the counter remedies to a bit of constipation- cigs are NOT one of them.

p.s.  radiation sickness (say from a nuclear explosion) can also clean out your system....it may seem harsh- but both rad sickness from nuclear fallout and cigs will eventually kill you.

No one loves being constipated, but I'd prefer that over all the possible consequences of smoking.

Oh my goodness child who told you that? Some horse thief? What would possess you to think that something as stoopid as this could possibly hold any merit whatsoever!??Is that you in your avatar photo? If so, you seem very young to be having troubles with digestion? What does your diet consist of? If you feed and exercise your body properly with healthy and fresh foods you will attain a wonderful level of health. You will be strong and capable all of your days! So..just eat many fresh fruits and vegetables everyday, drink a few large glasses of clean fresh water everyday, have some sort of proteins,like lean meats..add things like mushrooms and seaweeds to your diet..the many seaweeds help prevent or dispel arthritic maladies! If you eat right your body will follow and act accordingly! Peace beautiful girl.

You and that "someone with the advice", should do a little research on tobacco, don't you think?  There is no excuse now, for anyone to be ignorant about the consequencs of tobacco use.  The research is abundant and has been for years. There is not one benefit to smoking!  So don't!

Charcoal will also clean your digestive system, who wants to eat a hunk of charcoal though-- They do have it in pill form though.

as for nicotine,  I have quit, started, quit again etc.. Currently I am smoking small cigars.   I feel that everyone is different, anything you consume is dangerious if you get enough of it, I am not condoning cigarettes, its a filthy habit but I think too much concern has been put on the effects of nicotine in general.  All of us know people that have lived well into their 90's and smoked all their lives, then there are some that died young, Problem I have with this is that it makes no difference what a person dies of, if they smoked, their death is always pinned on smoking. Second hand smoke, they say a person that didn't ever smoke and lived with a smoker died of second hand smoke.. This is total BS!!   Years ago when people died, they died of 'natural causes'  This means, 'it was their time' .. Nothing can stop that.  Once again, I do not condone smoking by anyone, its a filthy habit! However, on the otherhand, I really don't think they have ANY absolute proof that people died of smoking except in some cases where the smoker breathed more smoke than air, (chain smokers).. If you got hooked on lettuice and ate it everyday, eventually you will get sick, possibly die.  BTW: smoking helps me keep weight off as I am not so hungry.. Sometimes i get the urge to eat, I will go outside and 'cigar' up and hunger goes away. People that are overweight chance diabetes, stroke, heart attack..

Finally I want to add--  DON'T SMOKE!!! it stinks!
