Does smoking make you gain weight? or loose weight?


im trying to figure out if me smoking can make me gain weight

Smoking one cigarette burns 20 calories off your body, so smoking a pack a day, you would lose 400 calories a day. Nicotine increases your heart rate, just like hoodia, ephedra, coke, and caffeine. You can OD on coke and ephedra but you would have to smoke over 5 packs a day to OD.

Its been said that smoking makes your metabolism faster and that the nicotine that is found in cigarettes makes you not hungry which is why most people lose weight, but once you stop or quit smoking, you gain the weight back and sometimes more.

Smoking can make you lose weight because it changes your metabolism. I seriously wouldn't recommend it though for losing weight! It also stops people binge eating, because they smoke a cigarette instead. But quitting smoking can make you gain weight. Probably more than you lost in the first place.

i think yes and no. Some people loose weight because they smoke rather than eat all the time, but some people gain weight because, smoking can make you lazy and not very active.

Smokers loose weight because they loose the ability to taste food or enjoy it.

Smoking makes you lose weight to the point where you look anorexic. Neither things are good.

Smoking makes you loose weight but it's not a good idea.

it does but youl get lung cancer and die an early death
