Your only in the early years of smoking so im sure you havn't done much perminent damage to your body. So quitting would be a great idea.. so you can live a long healthy life. If you want to lose weight, diet. Thats a healthy way to lose pounds. If you continue smoking JUST because you want to lose weight your only solving one problem with another.

Tulipg17 answered Thursday June 8 2006, 8:02 am: I smoked for years too, and I just resently quit. The ONLY thing I have tried that actually works is the nicotine gum. It really does work, and I can't sing it's praises enough. Smoking raises your metabolism, but not really all that much, we're talking the difference of less then a pound. The problem is, when most people quit they find themselves eating more to alliviate that oral void that used to be filled by smoking. If you don't eat any extra while you quit, and maybe add some excersise to your day, you'll loose weight just fine. Good Luck. [ Tulipg17's advice column | Ask Tulipg17 A Question ]
