I found this article incredibly helpful in examining nicotine as it relates to fitness and weight loss from an objective, scientific point of view.

Most of us know already know all about the diverse array of negative impacts smoking has on our health, but can't provide a reasonable explanation as to why smoking curbs appetite. This article provides a thorough analysis of the chemical mechanism(s) behind this.

Thank you for the insightful article.

I found this article very helpful without all the dogmatic, unsubstantiated bigotry towards nicotine. I understood why nicotine, and cigarettesmoking, has help me and others loos body fat. Unfortunately, smoking reeks havoc on the ability of hemoglobin topick up oxygen as well as other pulminary functions. Using nicotine is a radical idea but looksas if this drug has it's uses.

I don't care what this article says about it. I have seen this drug kill two of my grandparents. They both lost about 75 lbs from cancer. This has no place in my body. I don't have any hatred towards those that smoke, many of my friends do, however there are many other ways to get some of the benefits people are looking for from nicotine

Its the tar from cigarettes that does most of the damage, not the nicotine...they now have electronic cigaretees out that have no tar or anything in them, just nicotine. So other than being addicted to nicotine it doesn't seem to have any really harmful side effects. I'm a smoker and I'm thinking of switching over to those for the health benefits and to eventually ween myself off them entirely...
