Nicotine withdrawal doesn't affect my appetite. I'm just as hungry when I have a pack as to when I haven't had a smoke in a few days.

And if your girlfriend does it, it starts to be weakly correlated to penis cancer.

That kind of cancer affects guys more than girls. Jizz has other ingredients that suppress cancer, which aren't in lady orgasm juice.

Cigarettes are an appetite suppressant.

On a side note, I gained no weight after quitting. Maybe an initial +5 pounds or something, but it disappeared into my regular fat.

That's the secret right there. Just have enough fat that the new fat disappears into the old fat.
