who cares? cigarettes cause cancer, much worse than being overweight or underweight. If you haven't started smoking, don't. If you have, then quit now!

I think it's not a choice between weight-gain and girlfriend but a choice between lung cancer+bad breath and weight-gain! There are other alternatives to slim down you know not just cigarettes so for the sake of your health if you want to live longer to be with your girlfriend then quit smoking besides you stink with smoking literally!

Cigarettes make you dead. Not the kind of weight loss you want. One out of three cigarette smokers dies of smoking. Cigarette smokers tend to be out of shape and flabby because they don't take care of their health in a variety of ways. Smokers also smell bad, too, and two out of three people won't date a smoker. Smoking costs you a lot -- cigarettes cost money, health insurance costs more, you miss more days of work, and a lot of employers won't hire a smoker because their costs go up. Not a good result.

It reduces oxygen consumption, so one would burn less calories. Sounds like it will cause weight gain to me. Of course, then also, with less exercise, you lose muscle, slimming the muscles, but reducing the metabolism. Overeat, you'll then gain weight faster than before.
Its not a good thing to do for either. Its the food and exercise that have the big weight effects. Smoking just tosses another 200 toxins into your blood stream.

Well i never heard of it making you skinny, but when people decide to quit they gain weight because they subsitute food for the cigarette.
