I've found that smoking does decrease appetite. I tend to think oh I'm hungry... but I'll just have a cigarette first then eat later. Then I am not really hungry later.

Also people who are trying to quit tend to eat in place of smoking.... so that could lead to weight gain.

Smoking does not actually burn calories or increase your metabolism though.

Its true, you may pass a meal if you smoked recently, so yes there is something between the smoking and eating less

Smoking kills your appetite, it has nothing to do with calories. When I quit smoking I lost a lot of weight instead of gaining any.

In my oun oppinion you must visit a pcicology because even you dont beleave this you are having a big problem, and it can get worse everyday more.
I am an activate smoker and Im fat, and even I have almost 8 years smoking i haven lose any waight just moking, and i just lose it when i get on a diet and do excersice, so what i recomend you is to get on an strict diet and try tio stop smoke because even i got this bad habbit again I did it and when that I noticed that I was better than now.

i have been quit for just over three months now and i feel great the only thing is i have put a little weight on, nothing any1 could really notice but i know, this is because wen u smoke it does burn calories every time you have a cig so now i quit those calories are still there plus i haven't been going to the gym coz i been ill to. but it is good to quit and it saves you a packet lol
