I admit, I am a smoker, not something that I am proud of, but anyway... I find that everytime I try and quit, and not smoke for a time I eat so much, but if I smoke, then I don't feel the same hunger pangs... has anyone else had this, or heard this? If you have do you know why this is the case, as it baffles me

I think that the reason why smoking curbs your hunger is because nicotine goes to the neurotranmitters that cause pleasure. That´s why it is so hard to quit and that´s why you have to replace it with something else that is pleasurable. Being hungry is NOT a pleasure. A smoke will help curb your apetite as it will give you instant pleasure..
I quit smoking over 2 years ago and I feel I´m still an addict and I´ll always will be one. That´s why now that I have broken many (not all) of the associations one has with smoking, I know I can´t have even one gigarrette for the rest of my life.
I don´t mind people smoking near me and (dont tell anyone) I enjoy passive smoking)
.
I belong to a generation that saw all the heroines in movies smoking and it was cool. So I did too. I had my first puff
when I was 13. I don´t feel proud for quitting: I probably would still be smoking if I could affort it.As it is, I did my math and discovered that I smoked an airfare a year or more. I like vacations. So like xhose for me.
Take care!

When I quit smoking I was lacking energy and yes ... I was eating all the time like the food was not going into my stomach. The first week was kind of hard because all I did was to sleep, eat and the repeat over and over.

sometimes i have days when i can't be bothered to smoke until about 2-3pm,and i don't feel any hungrier than usual,but i have heard that smoking is meant to kerb your hunger,aparantly that's why so many super models smoke,it keeps them skinny

during my university days, i have a friend who let us say she was not well enough to support her food. so what she does when she feels hungry was that she smokes and does not feel hungry after. i was a smoker for quite sometimes also but i felt otherwise. i feel the craving for food while i smoke. but we had the same manner of quitting, we both drank a lot of water say 16-24 glasses and it help a lot. for me i felt full to reduce the need for smoking. i hope it will help you too....
