fkornre Posted April 22 Report Share Posted April 22 alot of ppl gain weight when the stop smoking...some ppl get used to the motion of having something in their hand and moving it towards their mouth (as in smoking) and if they stop they substitute food for smoking...also nicotine is an appetite suppresent and it actually can alter the way food tastes so when one stops smoking their appetitie comes back and food that used to taste bad, tastes better...so they eat more...

kahn Posted April 22 Report Share Posted April 22 No you will not gain weight, except for the reasons that fkorne pointed out. I quit smoking cigs almost 3 years ago. I actually lost weight cuz I was doing a lot more running in my workout routine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirtyepic18 Posted April 22 Report Share Posted April 22 if your quitting smoking, might as well start exercising to. that should take care of any weight problems nicely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ou812 Posted April 23 Report Share Posted April 23 Don't forget, nicotine is a stimulant so it's conceivable that it might speed up your metabolism to a degree. Therefore, without it, your metabolism might go down slightly, adding to the weight gain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elitesnautica Posted April 23 Report Share Posted April 23 Yes, nicotine is a stimulant and it has shown to boost metabolism, that along with the other factors can possible make you gain weight.But, look at the alterative.If you could see what smoking does to your lungs, by killing the ciliated lining you might change your mind (but probably not). Your mucous just sits in the lower parts of your lungs, which is a breeding ground for bacteria. Even if your immune system can fight off the bacteria (which is also effected by smoking) it is still nasty. You not only are more prone to illness but your are spreading tons of bacteria into the environment when you cough, making the people around you sick, also. Then you go to a doc and he rights you a script for antibiotics, which are becoming resistant b/c of over presciption. Its a viscious cycle.But, I have my bad habits to. So what ever floats your boat.Nautica Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nocfgs Posted April 23 Report Share Posted April 23 Has anyone in here smoked, if so how did you quit. I have been smokeing for like 5 years. Every time I throw them down and drop my habit I run back to it within a week. Its just so hard to quit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finally, one time I just never went back. That was 3 years ago. I still puff other herbs rather than nicotine. I can't seem to lose all my vices yet......Good Luck!!!
