i heard a rumor... maybe?

Question

i heard from diff sources that smoking causes weight loss, but then i also heard from many ppl that it causes weight gain. which one is true and y?

Answer 1

It depends on the individual. Usually you lose weight because food becomes less attractive. But when you give up smoking your taste buds revive and you can find yourself eating an awful lot. However giving it up can give you so much energy that you are able to lose weight through increased activity.
On the other hand taking up smoking can slow you down so much that you do not get the weight lose that can come from easting less food. Just do not take it up, there are better ways of losing weight

Answer 2

Smoking can either cause someone to gain weight or lose weight. Not everyone who smokes gain weight. Some don't even lose weight, because eveyone's body is different and we all don't function the same.

Answer 3

Smoking "kills" your appetite for food.

It doesn't make you lose weight, but if you smoke you'll want to eat less.

But I've seen fat people smoke, so I don't think it works all the time. But thats why models smoke, to stay thin<3

But I wouldn't advise it, in the long run you'll get lung cancer, or some other type of lung cancer, you'll get breathing difficulties, you'll look 10 years older, you'll have lines around your lips.

NOT GOOD!
If you wanna lose weight fast go bulemic!

Answer 4

smoking gives you mouth something to do instead of eating
however
the nicotine does not do anything good for the body
except lung cancer - esophageal cancer

and when you quit - you DO GAIN weight
and eat eat eat

so that's why I don;t smoke and have a great complexion at 54

Answer 5

It can cause both. Depends on the person.

Answer 6

Answer 7

It does suppress your appetite.....But I hope you're not thininking of taking it up to lose weight....BAD idea....
