Smoking and weight loss. I have proof.....opnions/personal experience please!?


Smoking and weight loss. I have proof.....opnions/personal experience please!?I know there are many overweight smokers in this world. I believe that smoking does aid in weight loss for certain circumstances.

Those such circumstances are people who gain weight after quitting, then they start smoking again and lose the weight they have gained. I'm sure this has happened to several individuals as there has been documented studies that people relapse cessation because of weight gain, thus they must lose it or no one would ever pick it back up right???

Read this article my colleagues discovered. Very interesting...

What is Your opinion on smoking and weight loss? Any first-hand knowledge of weight loss after starting - and did that person ever exercise or change eating habits or did they simply lose weight as this study portrays.

Thanks in advance & NO i'm NOT a smoker. Thought it was interesting though....

It's long been known that the average smoker weighs something like 11 pounds less than the average non-smoker, and there are lots of tales of wait loss and wait gain when starting/quitting. But the important thing to keep in mind is that smoking harms your health a lot more than a bit of extra weight does!
