I have heard that cigarettes help you lose weight, if so what in them makes this true and how much weight do they make you lose? (I used to smoke but got pregnant and am 15 lbs. heavier after the baby...not sure if its from just the baby, maybe its from stopping smoking and the baby) Dont worry I am not thinking about starting back!

The only thing cigarettes do is stave off hunger pangs. When people give up they tend to comfort eat - and so put on weight!

I don't think its true, at least I hope not. That, if true, would make allot of people to start up smoking, which is not a good thing.
People do usually put on weight when they quit smoking but it is only because they tend to go for food every time they crave a cigarette, which in exchange adds on the extra pounds. The extra weight you have put on is most likely from having a baby. I would know, i have two children and another on the way. Diet and exercise together will help. If not, then except the things you can not change. Good luck.

Cigarettes don't help you lose weight, its just that when most people stop smoking they gain weight. Due to probably over-eating to compensate for the cigarette the would normally smoke instead.
Cigarettes- not a weight loss product

It is true, they do help you lose weight. Smoking curbs your appetitte. But only for a short while. So I'm guessing you would probably have to smoke 10 or so to be able to skip a meal.

Ciggarettes do not help you lose weight. They decrease your appetite which directly leads to weight loss. And I know alot of women, smokers and non - smokers, who have put on alot of weight after having a child. So your weight gain is more than likely from having the baby.

It's not a great idea to smoke to lose weight.
Basically, you become addicted to the nicotine. You stop craving food, and start craving nicotine. It's a terrible ploy.
You gain weight after you stop smoking because you no longer have that oral fixation. You HAVE to eat something.

You should never take advice from the person who told you that, EVER! Smoking leads to many horrific health problems. People do tend to gain weight initially when they stop smoking, it is reported that it is due to eating more because they are trying not to smoke. But, the answer to the question is no, it does not aid in weight loss.

Hi,
I've tried all different diets, and the weight loss is only temporary. I finally tried diet pills on the market are made from Hoodia. I saw this stuff on ABC News. It's all natural and safe, and it works! My wife took it for a month and dropped 20 pounds. I took it for a month and lost about 13 (but I didn't exercise).
I bought the natural hoodia from this website: http://www.alllsite.info/free-diet-pills.php . I checked the web site address so I can post it here and I saw they're running a promotion now to get a free 2 week sample for only $4.97! I'm going to order this supply for my wife and give it to her for Christmas =)

NO smoking does not help you lose weight do not try it because you will get hooked on to it and then you will just get fat and not skinny. It will not help at all it is very bad for you and don't try it.
