Why do women think smoking helps them to lose weight?

Answer 1

Because smoking suppresses the appetite and also increases your metabolism which means your body stores less fat and burns energy faster

Answer 2

Because smoking surpresses the appetite, so you eat less, therefore lose weight. A lot of people who give up smoking tend to eat more - they pick at foods to substitute cigarettes so will put on weight.

Answer 3

Its psychological. When you give up smoking, you replace the urges to smoke with eating to satisfy your needs. Therefore people think that smoking helps weight loss as you eat less when you smoke.

Answer 4

It doesn't, but quitting can make you put on weight as you will eat more. The craving for a cigarette is remarkably similar to hunger. When people quit the lines become blurred and they just eat loads. I put on 1 1/2 stone when I quit!

Answer 5

I'm not a smoker but doesn't smoking suppress the appetite?

Answer 6

When you smoke it helps stop your cravings. So instead of eating chocolate you crave they will light up a cigarette to get rid of the craving.
