Yes they do. About 20 calories per puff. So please put them down and quit today. Before you quit the sugar. Before you go low or non fat. Before you go vegetarian. Before you give up alcohol. Before you reject traditonal exercise for whatever you decide is superior. Before you give up dairy. Give up the smoking, for your health and that of others who might just be a nice funny but unfortunate neighbor who has an allergic seemign reaction to the slightest smoke and gets major headaches but tries to be cool about it because...speshelle snoahflake.5

silly to ask i know, but do cigarettes have calories?
I hear that they do because they have a small amount of sugar in them.
I dont know if thats true or not.
it wouldnt stop me, but i was just wondering because i basically smoke more than i eat.

You can sort of say they have calories, but it is really the other side that is the issue. They slow your metabolism causing your body to be less efficient at burning calories. It's the nicotine and other chemicals in the cigarettes that are the active ingredient, not the sugar.0

They slow your metabolism? How is that? They are a mild stimulant.2 -

I am wondering the same thing. When I quit smoking, I was told that my metabolism would slow down from quitting, and it seemed like it did. It was more difficult to keep my weight down for a while, but quitting was the best decision I ever made.0 -

I just did a bit of google-fu'ing.
There is actually a correlation with insulin resistance - but no proof of causation.

Interesting though as the possibility is raised. [Note: the above was a quick research and I am sure that there are a lot more studies out there].
Obviously there are behavioral aspects of smoking that often lead to weight gain when stopping smoking.0 -

to be honest, population control is probably a positive, we don't have the resources to sustain the projected population levels.1 -
