Smoking might suppress your appetite temporarily due to nicotine, but it doesn't cause healthy weight loss. Once you quit, your appetite returns and you might actually gain weight. Focus on meal prep and time management instead of using cigarettes as a shortcut.

Heh, if smoking was a healthy weight loss plan, our doctors would be prescribing cigarettes! It only ruins your stamina and lung capacity. Trust me, the weight you lose from smoking is just muscle loss and bad health, not worth it.

While nicotine suppresses hunger, using smoking for weight control is extremely dangerous. If you are experiencing sudden, unexplained weight loss while smoking, please consult a physician immediately to check for any serious lung or systemic issues.

Nahi babuji, smoking does not make you healthy-thin, it just makes the body weak from inside. Our elders always said that eating simple ghar ka khana and walking in the fresh morning air is the only true way to keep the body fit.

I have seen many young folks start smoking thinking it keeps them slim. But nicotine only masks hunger while damaging your heart and lungs. When you quit, your metabolism stabilizes, so it's much better to adopt a sustainable diet now.
