Can smoking make you lose weight? -

I ve started smoking cigarettes recently and I ve lost about 5 pounds in less than 2 weeks. I m not on any kind of weight-loss program, don t exercise, and haven t changed my eating habits at all. Is this is a bad sign? Is it the cigarettes or should I see my doctor?

i think the nicotine in cigarettes can effect your matabilsm.... so it is possible for smoking to make u lose wieght... it really isnt a gd way to lose weight though

Every smoker I know begins to lose weight then they become dead looking so you should stop

yeah bro it can BUT DON t. Smoking is hella addictive and you will hate it in about a year when you re throat feels all clogged and you have luggies n shyt up your throat. Weed is better, smoother, but just as addictive. I only smoke weed.DON t SMOKE PERIOD. If you wanna use weed than get a VAPORIZER and inhale water, not smoke.OH BRO... The way smoking affects your eating habits is this: Sometimes you will smoke stoges and then after you will have a nasty taste in your mouth and then it will get to your stomach. your stomach will feel crappy and when you eat it doesnt feel good so your lifestyle changes and you stop eating as much. Foreels, you will even have feel like you gotta throw up sometimes. But its yur life. do what you will.I am a stupid teenager as well (18) and yeah lol. I m just giving you my personal experience. I used to smoke ciggs. I swtiched to Smoking Purple and Im alot happyer :0)

Well, thats just great! Think how much you ll lose when you re on chemotherapy for lung cancer.

yup. A little. But so does running.

smoking increases my appetite, i get real hungry after i smoke

stop smoking its a disguisting habit! EW EW EW! its the cigs..they kill your appetite. but ew! DONT SMOKE

yes it can it kills the eating habbit. smoking isnt good for no one see a .dr. ...

Nicotine speeds up your metabolism. If you stop, you will probably gain the weight back. As long as you aren t underweight I wouldn t worry about it.

yes, it is known for its appetite supressant effect...but just imagine how much weight you will lose when you get on chemo-therapy!! You will be a bag of bones with no hair. Worth it?

Lets put it straight. Losing weight is not that hard, You will never hear me say that it is. All it takes is dedication, motivation and hard work !--There are some fairly simple changes that will greatly improve your chances of weight loss success. Check this out to loss weight,http://weightlosspro.awardspace.com/The best, most effective way to lose weight and keep it off is to simply eat right and exercise. Good diet, minimize saturated fat, use monounsaturated fat-- Always check in gradients of everything you are buyingRelaxation, stress and strain never allow people to be slim.

that s not too drastic a weight loss. cigarettes lower appetite, tar coats the tongue, food doesn t taste as good.

Nicotine is a stimulant - it will suppress your appetite.Cigarette smoke has a lot of other fun stuff in it, too.

Some of my friends claim this to be true; but u gotta smoke before u eat, so i takes away ur appettite. Well...anyways, I have enormous friends who smoke too LOL

I came across this great product for weight loss and it was excellent for me. Together with a good diet and exercise I am finally happy with my body and the way I look. You should check this product at http://www.easy-diet-fun.us , they have a free trial and you only pay $4.95 shipping and handling. A must!

You d bet better off with that extra five pounds than with the cigarette addiction.WHY do people start smoking in this day and age? My husband was a hospice nurse- go see all the people suffocating and dying from smoking all their lives- it will make you so sick you ll want to quit immediately and that five measly pounds won t seem quite so bothersome.

Smoking doesn t help you lose weight. You can chose to smoke a cigarette instead of eating and after time you may lose weight. I would not suggest that you should do this, after smoking for a while your teeth will start turning yellow, it makes you stink, and it causes very bad respiratory problems, and as many people say that they smoke b/c it makes them lose weight it wont work for everyone. Taking 20 minutes out of your day to exercise and eating healthier will help you lose weight without the side-affects of smoking.

Wow!. Smoking a cigarette burns about 20 calories, so smoking a pack a day burns about 400 calories. It s probably increasing your metabolism even more to lose 5 pounds.

Cigarretts are NOT a diet fad. they SUPPRESS your appitite and ergo, you eat less and you start to lose weight.Just about the time you are down to a svelt 180 lbs and the ladies start to go for you, you develope lung cancer and die.As a weight lose supplement it works, but the long term side effects are not pretty.

yeah.smoking make u lose weight. just like my grandpa. u should stop smoking.my grandpa died because of that.yeah. it is a bad sign.ask your doctor for more information.

Great post! I totally understand how you feel. I m also trying to lose weight and I found this great product which is working for me. You can check the website at http://www.be-happy-diet.us , I had a free trial and paid less than $5.00 shipping and handling. Best of luck!

Yes, it definitely suppresses your appetite. Don t see a doctor, you know what you have to do - stop smoking! Would you rather be thin and ill, coughing all the time, with yellow teeth etc, or healthy? It may be nice to be skinny but personally I think the people who lose weight by smoking have a pinched, wrinkled look rather than looking better.

lol no way. I think if anything it makes you gain weight.

You d be surprised at how often that cigarette replaces food. That s why when people quit smoking they gain so much weight. Instead of grabbing a cigarette, they grab a bite to eat. I smoke a cigarette in the morning instead of eating breakfast and I don t even think about it. I have been trying to quit for so long and it s the hardest thing I ve ever tried to do. Quit now while you can. Instead of lighting up another one, go for a walk around the block. You ll lose the weight and be healthier.

Smoking keeps me really skinny and sexy. I love not having to work out. Congrats on starting.
