Hello, I have lost weight since I gave up smoking. I was a bit fat and smoked, but was scared to give up because everybody told me that I would put on weight if I gave up. Maybe if I stayed in front of the TV eating instead of smoking I would have got bigger, but since I gave up smoking I have felt more energetic and healthy, so I go to the gym and have taken up martial arts. I think that smoking speeds up your heart rate a tiny bit, but it's nothing compared to exercise. Even a walk would make you lose more weight than a cig. I just felt fat and lazy while I smoked and couldn't do anything. |

Poeple who smoke are doing that instead of eating, people who don't smoke tend to snack more often. |

Smoking can be an appetite suppressant. It's also an oral fixation. Instead of eating people smoke. Which is why many people who quit smoking gain weight. They still have that oral fixation and eat instead of chewing gum or something that has fewer calories and still engages the facial muscles. |

Most people (especially women) start smoking trying to lose weight but, there are no studies that actually prove that smoking leads to weight loss. And most people that smoke are also inactive (because like you said they smoke out of boredom). |

I'm trying to lose weight too and it's sooo hard. My aunt is using a weight loss product and it's really working for her (100% natural). I'm gonna try it and I recommend you try it too. It's really a colon cleanse, and it's a healthy way to detox, not like most diet pills. Check their website at
http://www.fit-quick-thin.us , my aunt got a free trial and paid only $4.95 shipping and handling. |

It's because people tend to smoke instead of eating.
That's why when people stop smoking, they usually put on weight |

it supresses yur appatite a little but instead of having a bite to eat yu have a cigerette and that satisfies you until yoy feel hungry again |

it causes your metabolism to increase just a little bit, also that it replaces eating for many people. It also burns a few calories. But, it's better to have a few extra pounds then to smoke. And this is coming from a smoker! heh |

In short, it doesn't. Not for me at least. |

it just lessens your appetite. There's nothing in cigarettes that work at speeding up your metabolism or a slimming agent. |

smoking is supposed to dull your taste buds, so you are not as hungry. and if you are trying to stop smoking you eat more as you need something to occupy you. |
|
hello :)
|
you dont want to eat as much |

yes, it speeds up metabolism. Alot of people have a smoke instead on a snack. |

That is often only a temporary effect. Remember that people who smoke are less likely to exercise, so eventually the weight will catch up with them. |

Simple, because it is too expensive, and you can't afford to buy food. |

it is an appetite depressant |

It doesn't make you lose weight. It's an appetite suppressant so you don't eat as much or as often. |
|

because you brain needs the nicotine more than food so the smoking wins and you eat less |

I'm not sure about the metabolism thing, but I know that they kill your appetite before they do anything else which is a sure reason why people lose weight when they smoke. |

Nicotine, a very powerful drug. |

cigarettes are appetite represents!! They make the food taste more bland..... When you stop smoking you can taste how good the food is and eat more out of enjoyment, when you smoke you eat for survival instead of for the wonderful taste!!!! |

Because lung cancer reduces the appetite. |

Speeds up metabolism (not always the case) and you eat less. Your lungs are clogged with black layers of smoke and it will cause you to not be hungry.
If you are looking to lose weight. A good balance diet and exercise is the key.
Cheers! |
