Thoughts on Smoking?

xalexandramarie

Of course everyone knows the bad things about smoking but what are your thoughts on the nicotine being a suppressant?

I think it's a nasty habit and not worth it.

I agree. It's a nasty habit and if you do smoke it can ruin your body. My Grandpa smoked when he was younger and he had emphysema and had one lung removed.

Why are you trying to suppress your hunger? Also, as a smoker, don't start smoking for suppressing your hunger. For th love of God if you must go down an eating disorder road, take up coffee for suppressent vs. smoking.

Also, seek help.

(yes, I realize I might be jumping to conclusion, I am OK with it)

I'm not sure I understand you right. Are you saying you are thinking about starting smoking just so you'll want to eat less?



...Are you out of your mind?













No, really...........................are you?

Honestly, my dad quit smoking and since then I have found myself "craving" it (second hand sucks) and was looking up things about smoking just to understand why and was shocked to see it has been used to suppress hunger

I promise you all I am not going to start smoking for the fact of it being a suppressant if anything, I don't want to pick it up at all!

xalexandramarie

my goal is to not smoke at all...it is just a fact I found interesting

What you heard is actually incorrect. I have been smoking since I was 13. It has never suppressed hunger. What has happened though is that anytime I tried to quit smoking, I tried to replace one addiction (of nicotine) with another (of food).

This is a new concept for me of getting addicted to nicotine via second hand smoking.

For all that is holy, please do NOT start smoking. For any reason. I have been smoking for 16 years and regret the day I started very much so.

I've asked others if they have craved, too without ever having a cigarette and it's actually common once the main source of contact is gone. It's like I've been around it so long that him just stopping is throwing me off. I don't want to smoke. And it's nice to know that it doesn't suppress hunger. That was mind blowing to hear so I am glad to know it's not true.

I can't stand smoking!! It's so nasty! Plus, I'm a runner, so smoking would the most detrimental thing I could do to my lungs. I use water as a suppressant! haha I'm constantly drinking water throughout the day.

*Whew!*

You really had me freaked out there! Lol.

Yes, nicotine has been known to suppress appetite in some people...that's one of the reasons ppl gain a ton of weight when they quit.
