Hey doesn't smoking cigarrettes help you lose weight? i heard it speeds up your metabolism.
Reply from Tess, Age 12 - 08/16/04 - IP#: 69.208.82.xxx No!!!! they lower your appetite a little, but overall they will kill you so it is not at all worth it. Please don't start.

Reply from Catherine, Age 15 - 08/15/04 - IP#: 67.168.60.xxx I agree with all of them below. Plus I have heard a lot of guys arent attracted to girls who smoke. Which I am the same way, if I see a cute guy smoking, I think what a shame! Please dont start, it is so hard to quit, I know because my aunt smokes and I hate to be around her.

Reply from Katie, Age 18 - 08/15/04 - IP#: 195.93.33.xxx no - smoking does not speed up your metabolism - the reason why ppl put on weight when they stop smoking is that they eat more because they need something to fill in for the smoking - like swapping one bad habit for another - I thought that it was true so I started smoking - 4 years later Im still overweight (though not as much - but that was through dieting)and I have really bad lungs!
Reply from anne, Age 17 - 08/15/04 - IP#: 216.66.102.xxx lol. no. what it does is keeps you occupied so that you're not eating as much and it supresses your appetie a little. it doesn't speed up your metabolism. HOWEVER what it will do is fill your lungs with tar so that you won't be as fit and won't be able to run arounds for very long and your vopice will sound all crackly and it'll be horrible if you end up getting cancer from it....
Reply from Cam, Age 15 - 08/15/04 - IP#: 64.12.116.xxx They just suppress your appetite. And it is not worth it they taste like crap but most ppl get addicted once they start anyway.
Reply from Emily, Age 13 - 08/15/04 - IP#: 68.148.170.xxx Throughout my life, as many people have, i have leraned all about how bad smoking is and its deadly consiquences. Howeve i won't lie to you, when my dad used to smoke he was super skinny, then he quit and gained almost 100 pounds. But please don't smoke the chances of u getting lung cancer are very high, and cancer is absolutely horrible, losing a few pounds, and getting pleasure from a ciggarette is not worth it. But it just depends on the person, my older sister wanted to lose wieght, so seeing what happened to my dad, she started smoking. But its not working, she is just starting to hack a lot and smells really bad. So just try a healthy diet instead.
Reply from -----, Age 15 - 08/14/04 - IP#: 24.128.69.xxx Some people go on a diet of red bull and cigarettes, it makes you lose weight fast. But seriously its one of the worst things you could do to yourself, smoking doesnt speed your metabolism though. It'll just give you health problems and in the long run probably slow down a metabolism.
