is it true smoking cigarettes makes you thinner or at least stay thin?

Answer 1

It keeps you from eating a lot...if I am out of cigs I eat more

Answer 2

I haven't seen that proven yet, diet and exercise is the only thing I know that will make you thinner or stay thin.

Answer 3

I know of a lot of people that gain weight when the quit smoking, but that's usually becuase they replace smoking with snacking. I have heard that smoking is a natural appetite suppresant but who knows really. I smoke, i'm skinny...

Answer 4

no i never lost weight when i was a smoker. granted now i have gained a few with quitting but i figure an extra 5 lbs is not as bad for my health as cigarettes.

Answer 5

Smoking is disgusting and unattractive.

Being overly skinny is the same.

The best way is to eat and exercise, but the problem is that people are toooo lazy to get off their tush and burn off that Whopper from lunch.

Answer 6

Yes and I'm a smoker. I know people who quit that gained weight and said that their food tasted better than when they smoked.

Answer 7

not really. sometimes people think they are curbing their appetite by substituting a smoke for a snack. However, later on, they will eat more to make up for it. I know.
plus its much worse on your body to poison it with smoke and tar than to carry a few extra pounds

Answer 8

I have always been thin, and now that I've quit smoking, well I'm still thin, so I don't know...

Answer 9

no. nicotine does not decrease your appetite. It just gives you something to do other than eat. Most people do not LOSE weight when they START smoking, but they gain when they QUIT, because they EAT to give themselves something to do other than smoke.

Answer 10

Nicotine cuts your appetite, so yes.
