Every morning I get up and have a cup of coffee (and sometimes a cigarette) Almost immediately afterward I need to take a sh*t. I realize lots of people do so what is it in the coffee that makes this happen? The caffeine?

Stimulants cause it...both nicotine and caffeine.

caffeine and nicotine substances .. most likely the coffee but to some they cant go unless they have a cig so u got 2 substances at once.. i would cut back cigs as coffee is a natural thing now used for diabetics and used in medicine many yrs ago

Coffee is a natural laxative and believe it of not cigs are also a stimulant add that to the fact that you just woke up and naturally your body needs to drop the kids off at the pool if you know what I mean

Both are stimulants and act on the motility (essentially like squeezing) of the colon...therefore in your case instant bowel movement. There are nicotinic receptors that regulate things like digestion...which is certainly affected. Caffiene also directly acts on the gut.
By the way, I know you did not ask, but stop smoking. It is the single best thing you can do to improve your health...in many, many ways.
Good Luck.

Caffine and Nicotine are stimulants and they get your blood pumping. That gets the whole body moving....wakes up your mind, your muscles, your bowels, etc. You would get the same effect from a hard workout in the AM, but cigs and coffee are much more enjoyable.

Taking a crap is good, and will keep your system clean, but instead of Coffee and a cigarette try Fibre and a breath of fresh air.
