Why does smoking help me poop?
Also, how to I poop without having to smoke. It's like the two are related now. I only smoke before I poop and if I don't smoke, then I don't poop on time.

My mother had the same problem, or maybe she still does, I haven't asked recently. I believe that your smoking-defacation OCD (obsessive compulsive disorder) has caused your subconscious to link the two independent actions to make one action dependent on the previous carrying out of the other. I believe that you should start by forcing yourself to defacate (sh*t) before you smoke and if you can't do it without help then take some laxatives. Just try not to make your body reliant on laxatives. The last thing you need is self-induced constipation. Also, a diet high in fiber should make it easier for you to defacate. If that doesn't work try Mexican food to loosen your stool (sh*t). All you need to do if find the best way to make sure that you don't smoke before you crap. It might even be safer to smoke after you crap so that your subconscious has more time to dissasociate crapping from smoking. Just break the cycle. That's all there is to it. Best wishes on your success.

Wow that's a littltle bit too much information for me to come to a conclusion as to why you Poop after you smoke..
Maybe you should go to school and ask a professor that question ♥

It's not the nicotine. I have had this same issue for years. I cannot go to the bathroom without a cig. using nicotine replacement does not help. I have to smoke. It gets things churning and moving. I hate it because it has prevented me from quitting for good. I have to take all kinds of laxatives whenever i quit smoking. I think it's in the dam tobacco.

Odd...but Nicotine is a stimulant. Stimulants speed up your body systems. Maybe that's why.

Cigarettes are a stimulant. Stimulants make you have to go.
