Is Smoking The Best Way To Lose Weight?

for all you smokers out there.

Is smoking good or bad? Almost all people will unanimously agree that smoking is bad, because it is bad indeed! But even certain 'bad' things have their advantages, and smoking is no exception in this regard. I know you will find it hard to believe, but if you are an overweight person then smoking can indeed help you a lot! Smoking will help you lose weight by speeding up your body's metabolism. In this article I will explore the relationship between smoking and weight loss even further.

While smoking can indeed help you lose weight, you should never smoke because it will do more harm than good to your body. Cigarettes contain a harmful substance called Nicotine which fills up the lungs with dangerous substances such as poisons and tar. Smoking chokes a person's lungs to such an extent that he finds it difficult to breathe properly. If not discontinued in time, smoking can even cause lung cancer.

As you can see, the disadvantages of smoking far outweigh its advantages, and for this reason you should definitely not look forward to smoking as an available weight loss option! Remember that there are better ways to lose weight, such as diet and exercise. Smoking may give you some temporary benefits but the destruction in causes to your body and health in the long run doesn't make it worth the trouble.

Some people don't want to quit smoking, not just because they are addicted, but because they fear that if they ever quit smoking, they will gain a lot of weight. Well, nothing could be further from the truth! Very few people ever gain weight after they quit smoking, so you don't need to worry on that front.

Besides, you won't gain weight until a few months after you have discontinued smoking and that too, if you follow an unhealthy lifestyle by eating junk and fatty foods and sit on your couch through the day, watching your favorite television program. If you do proper exercises such as aerobics, cardio, weight lifting and resistance training, as well as follow a healthy diet plan consisting of raw vegetables and fruits, you won't have to worry about weight gain even if you quit smoking! If you have been smoking in order to lose weight, I hope this article has succeeded on encouraging you to discontinue the same and focus on healthier weight loss options that won't harm your body in any way. Remember that smoking will not only damage your health beyond repair, but can even prove to be fatal for you!

Think On

Is this a serious thread? Any idea that there is anything beneficial from smoking is utterly ridiculous.

I have to agree this is one of the most ridiculous threads I've seen.


Your theory in ruins:
How many obese people have you encountered that are smokers?

Answer: Lots!




If smoking truly helped people lose weight, there would not be overweight and obese smokers but there are...therefore your statement holds no water, and is pointless.

i think the author was on the fence on the issue. at first it said that smoking will raise your metabolism, but you shouldnt do it because the health risks outweigh the health benefits. but by the end, the main idea was that if you decide to quit smoking, you will not gain weight like so many fear if you exercise and eat a nutritious diet...wtf...lol what a weird thread...
