Does smoking really make people thinner?

The only thing i know about smoking is that it is harmful to your health. Ok i have seen people who used to smoke and were very thin and when they quit smoking they became really fat. But there are also people who smoke and they are extra fat. Please don't take a risk like that. U'd rather enroll yourself to a gym and work out from dawn to dusk instead of smoking.

ive been smoking for over 15yrs now. and i can tell you that smoking does NOT make you thinner! nicotine may VERY SLIGHTLY, TEMPORARILY suppress the appetite, however the longer you smoke the less you will probably feel that effect. most long time smokers who try to quit, gain weight because of the habit of "doing something with your hand and mouth" you end up snacking on something to try and fill the habit of putting the cig to your mouth. it is a surprisingly strong habit to overcome. if you dont currently smoke and are thinking of starting for the weight loss, THEN DONT! it WILL NOT make any difference that is big enough to be truly a BENEFIT, when compared to the negative effects.

smoking is something you should avoid if you can help it-it has no gains except the many health dagers associated with it!

No smoking does not make people slim but one of the side effects of nocotene addiction is the supression of appitite, so smokers tend to be slimmer than those who dont smoke. I quit smoking June last year and so far have put on 3 and a half stone in weight, but the health benefits of stopping far outstrip the weight gain problem blessed be

I dont think people will get thinner by smoking.. you might lose all the fat if you dont eat and just smoke, perhaps. :)

Well partly that's true as when you smoke, some says it interferes with your senses and appetite. So when you smoke and ur appetite is suppressed, naturally you can get thinner. But I have a friend who is fat that no matter how much she smokes, she dont get thinner. I also heard that it could make you fat once you stop smoking as it will want you to crave and some smokers eat candy in replacement of their cravings so as a result, it makes them gain weight. Aside from the many unhealthy benefits of smoking, once you learn to smoke, for some its difficult to quit. So for your sake, I just recommend you to just diet and do exercise to get thinner and not learn to smoke. Have a nice day dear!

I heard that it does but nicotine is a suppressant so it stops people feeling hungry and therefore smokers may be inclined to eat less. Smoking in itself, I don't believe [b][/b]makes you thin. I can also tell you that I know many overweight smokers because the rest of their life is unhealthy too. I wouldn't recommend taking up smoking to find out. It will cause more harm than good and, apparently, it leavs fatty deposits on your lungs. I'd rather have my fat on the outside thanks!

it is not ture as far my consideration i am a smoker i have never seen any loss in my weight well it may be useful on other people but as my opinion it is wrong statement

well as 90% of suprmodels and 65% of jockeys smoke I say they are the proof of the pudding. it increases your metabolism and surpresses appetite. of course if you still stuff your face ridiculously no it's no good.

is that so ? i don't think so . because my dad is a heavy smoler , but he get fatter and fatter , and many other person i recognise who smoke don't lose any weight . i think the best thing that can lose weight is on diet and do exercise.
