It doesn't matter that smoking will reduce our weight or not..... but, definitely smoking will make your health bad.....

Yes, you are right Smoking does help reduce weight. This is how it helps...
1.First the person will lose weight by falling sick, due to cough and other diseases
2.The immunity of the smoker will be very less when compared to that of a non smoker and the smoker will fall sick very often.
3.Some times smokers will get deadly diseases like oral cancer or lung cancer and will lose weight rapidly and die........

I don't smoke, but I think what happens is the smoking eventually messes up with the person's taste buds. If they can't taste anything, then eating holds no real temptation for them. Then, they eat just enough to survive. That's all I can figure.

Yes it does. Even though I want to lose weight (a lot of it. . .) I would not be desperate enough to smoke. The bad outweighs the good, and I don't really want to have cancer. If smoking wasn't dangerous to your health nor addictive and all it did was curve your appetite and help you lose weight, I think a lot more people would smoke.

Well it is tru that smoking makes you lose weight, as it sucks out all the necessary vitamins out of your body. BUT it can also cause your body to become fluffy and lose and may cause other side effects like your body becomes weak. It also can cause cancer.
