Smoking and Weight Loss
By Brian Gallichan
Smoking makes weight loss easy, since smoking causes the metabolism to speed up. Smoking though, is a very dirty habit, and one that should be abandoned at all costs, even if it means gaining a few extra pounds from quitting smoking.
Smoking must be stopped immediately. Even smoking half of a cigarette a day is very damaging to your body. Let's take a closer look at smoking and weight loss.
Nicotine is a drug, and those who smoke it are drug addicts. With each puff, smoking coats the lungs with tar and other poisons.
The lungs of a smoker are not able to take in a full breath of air because they are so clogged by toxic cigarette tar. Over 559 additives are used to produce cigarettes. Over 4,000 different chemical compounds are produced by a burning cigarette.
Some people insist on continuing their smoking habit because they cannot bear the thought of gaining an extra pound or two when they quit smoking. But the truth is, only a fraction of the people who quit smoking gain weight.
Besides, the weight that is gained when quitting smoking does not show up for a few months anyway. This means that if a person were to quit smoking, he would have at least two months to start eating well and performing a regular exercise routine before the weight would show on his body.
And if a person did this, the weight would not show on his body anyway. So, stop smoking and start hitting the gym instead.
