The nicotine in cigarettes is a stimulant that causes an increase in heartrate and metabolism which could cause weight loss.

If you stop smoking you will have a strong tendency to gain.
As the question is stated, you have a push, because an equilibrium is reached.

It decreases your metabolism, and decreases your hunger. Its a toss up, the placebo affect might be the reason responsible to go either way.

Lose, you don't feel like eating as much since you are substituting your oral fixation with cigarettes instead of snacks.
