Smoking is something that you should give up on entirely. But, smoking immediately your meals is even more harmful. "Studies have shown that the damage caused by smoking just one cigarette after a meal is equal to smoking 10 cigarettes at once," says Nmami in her IGTV. So, not only must you try to not smoke after eating your meals, you must also make an effort towards quitting it entirely.

According to Nmami, it is healthy to consume fruits in between meals, in a gap of at least one hour. A fruit that is eaten right after a meal will not be digested properly. This means that the nutrients in fruits will not be absorbed or assimilated in the body. Thus, eating fruit after a meal will not be beneficial for your health.
