I've been considering this ever since KR has been saying this.

I've smoked before, but I rarely ever smoke (usually once or twice a week, and I inhale so my tolerance must be getting stronger) and I'm not really concerned about the health-related problems it may bring, plus I'd like a raspy voice .

So do smoking really help you lose weight, also would my face get less fat, my body shape is fine

It does make you lose weight. But I'd rather not eat.

You won't lose weight that you already have. It's just a mild appetite supressant.

some people lose weight but theres also a equal amount of fat people who smoke too

It played no part in that for me when I smoked. There are much more effective and cheaper ways to weight loss.

if smoking made me lose weight, i wouldn't have quit.

thats a myth.

Nicotine is an appetite suppressant, and may inhibit the release of insulin and also increases your metabolism ever so slightly. Smoking can be a substitute for people who would otherwise snack. So, it can lead to slight weight loss.

However, it makes exercising that much more difficult, as your blood cannot hold as much oxygen since your haemoglobin binds irreversibly with the carbon monoxide in the smoke, forming carboxyhaemoglobin. This can mean that up to 30% of your blood's normal oxygen content is reduced (as soon as you stop smoking, this will last for as long as the affected red blood cells do - up to a maximum of around 120 days). So, you puff and pant while performing seemingly non-strenuous activities in an effort to get more oxygen into your body.

So since you can't exercise as efficiently, you cannot therefore burn calories as efficiently.

Also, if you stop smoking you will tend to crave food as a result of the body's initial shock at nicotine withdrawal, so you're more likely to gain weight.

I find that smoking makes me feel less hungry. That's probably why it could help you lose weight. But like someone else said, I'd rather just go on a diet.

hmm... well, if you live only on coffee & cigarettes, you'll probably lose weight. but i'll let you figure out what it does to your health.

you'll gain weight if you start eating more than you usually do. i quit smoking and didn't gain weight. but it takes discipline.

Coffee and Cigarettes can be used as a meal replacement.

Plus smoking is fun (no point in pretending otherwise).

Sadly lung cancer, inability to do anything without running out of breath and painful coughing fits get in the way of the fun.

Plus its just about the most ageing thing you can do.

In general you're better off sticking to coffee and gum/eating sensibly. Its easier to develop will power than putting up with the negative sides of smoking.

this is about the dumbest thing i've ever heard.

Coffee is an appetite supressant, it increases metabolic speed and helps burn fat if you exercise. Stick to black coffee. There is less hideous cancer related to it.

How could you not care about the health effects of smoking? That is pretty dumb. If you want to lose weight then just do it the right way.

HOO DA FUK IS GOIN TO NOT INNHAIL WEN DEY SMOKE YOU NOBBER

Smoking will probably just surpress your appetite.. but it is terrible for you i suggest just eating less..

My grandmother and kids who do it to look cool but can't handle actually inhaling it.

HAHA YOR FAMLY SOWNDS LIKE PROPER LOOSERS

Starting to smoke just so you can lose a pound or two is really dumb. Getting myself addicted to cigarettes is one of the stupidest things I've ever done, so I encourage people who aren't addicted, to stay the hell away from the mother fucking cancer sticks.
If you want to lose weight, do it the healthy way. My mom is a member of Curves and she's doing awesome, she's lost about 15 or so pounds now and looks and feels great. The healthy way isn't always the easiest, but it's definitely the most rewarding.
