Does smoking make you lose weight?

I need to lose some weight does smoking help ? I heard it depresses your appetite I no the cons of smoking but I dont care!!
Thankyou.

What people think is stupid is not the question, but the fact the someone would WANT to start somking to lose weight IS STUPID !!! When people ask questions like that they obviously want some feed back and they should prepare themselves for others opinions and advice weather it be someone thinking it is stupid or not.

Umm, I smoke and honestly I am far from small. So I am going to have to say no.
And if you want to lose weight smoking is NOT the way to go !

it can...but its not a good way at all... b/c once you stop smoking you gain all that weight back plus extra ... I wouldnt suggest it... go work out.. go do something... dont turn to smoking to lose weight...its not a good idea at all

If you start smoking to lose weight you are just plain LAZY, LAZY, LAZY!!!
Do what snk99 says work out , watch what you eat, ect ect
geeze!!! That is just plain stupid

WOW!! So instead of being lazy why don't you go work out. Get a nutrition book and read it so you're eating right. Smoking doesn't make you lose weight, it does depress your appetite but are you saying you don't have enough self control to conrol the way you eat so may as well pick up another bad habit... no wonder people steriotype americans as lazy fat people!!! Get a clue! If you really want to lose weight why don't you smoke some meth??? LOL, how stupid is that question... really?!

yes but if you quit you gain a lot and ciggarate can kill you

 
You people who are implying that the question is stupid are the stupid ones. There is no such thing as a stupid question. We are all different and have different levels of knowledge and comprehension. That's what this site is all about. Giving those that don't know a place to inquire and learn. Some of us know some things but none of us knows everything.

you shouldnt call people stupid ethmer ! nobody called this person stupid they were implying that the reason for them to start somking is stupid seriously who would not agree?

I just asked the day before yesterday if smoking makes you not hungry, cause I was at my sister's job and saw cigs and was pretty depressed. Cause I need to lose weight. I mean I've lost 50 pounds, but I've been dieting since I was 13, so yeah, I've got problems, and I'm desperate to lose weight that I do some stupid stuff, but I'd never take up smoking. It's best to stay big, you might live a few hours longer than a smoker.

YES IT DOES!!
WHEN MY UNCLE STOPPED SMOKING HE GOT FATTER AND FATTER AND HE CHANGED FROM SUPER THIN TO SUPER FAT!!
ME AND MY BROTHER FIT IN ONE OF HIS PANTS!!

not necessarily. but it does reduce your appetite.

so you dont care about
lung cancer
bad breath
premature ageing
your face aging quicker
yellow teeth
tooth decay
yellow nails
trouble breathing
clogging up you arteries with tar
screwing up your fertility
the thousands of dangerouse chemicals in every cigarette
osteoperosis
decresasing your life span
raising your blood pressure and blot clots risk
heart dissease/heart attacks
...you dont know all the risks of smoking, and starting it to loose weight is a stupid idea
if you want to f*ck up your health, thats your decision though
but unless you can say "lung cancer, not without its benifits"
then your wasting your life
sure youll loose weight, youll loose your collegine, youll loose your strength, appetite
your going to become weak and sluggish
if all of that is worth lossing a few pounds
that could have been lots quicker the healthy way
then thats your decision

Word. Damn, that post above me makes me want to quit.

haha makes you gain!

whats the point of being skinny
when your face is going to be all saggy?
trust me my aunt is only 35 and she smokes and she looks like shes 50
and no smoking doesn't do anything for your appetite
it usually makes you hungrier
