WHy do people gain weight when they stop smoking?

[JEDI]

Smokers like to inhale so they start inhaling cakes instead of smoke.

Dont forget smoking kills your taste buds. As soon as you quit ALL food starts tasting a lot better.

Nicotine is also an appetite suppressant, so they start feeling hungry again. Many people confuse hunger with thirst though, which can make it worse.

Who does this? I know when I am hungry and when I am thirsty.

This.

 

[slayer202]

i agree. fat people should just chew gum all day so they stop eating

 

[DangerAardvark]

They should chew nicotine gum all day. That way you get the best of both worlds... and it's only weakly correlated with mouth cancer!

 

[coreyb]

i didnt think there were any health concerns with nicotine gum?

I've stopped smoking several times over the years (Currently over 2 months now).
When I do not smoke, I also do not eat, as the old urge to light up after a meal is so strong!
Since I cut down severely, I lost a lot of weight, stopping altogether just makes me want to eat even less.
Was at avg. 185-195 lbs., got down to 134 before I realized it! Started eating more and am currently back up to around 150 lbs.
Heck, seems I'm never hungry!

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.

Because nicotine is good for you.

hunger pangs are identical to thirst. Everyone does this. Thirst isn't just about mouth dryness.

wow. are you able to tell when you're pissing and when you're shitting too?

 

[SaDiZTiKStyLeZ]

During the time I quit smoking, I lost 60lbs in 6mo. Not sure if it played an effect, or slowed down my weight loss. But whatever.

 

[IceBergSLiM]

oral fixation.

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