6. Peppers
Peppers are amongst the richest sources of vitamin C, a water-soluble nutrient that acts as a powerful antioxidant in your body. Getting enough vitamin C is especially important for those who smoke. In fact, due to the damaging effects of cigarette smoke on your body's antioxidant storage, it's recommended that people who smoke consume an extra 35 mg of vitamin C per day. Consuming just one medium-sized (119-gram) sweet red pepper delivers 169% of the recommended daily intake for vitamin C.
