A member asked:
Can you lose a large amount of weight from smoking cigarettes?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Doubt it: Never studied. Some people gain weight when they stop smoking. The reasons for this are unclear. They may be eating more or their metabolism may have slowed. However, there is no evidence that beginning smoking in current non smokers has an opposite effect and the health consequences are horrible.
