It’s old information that nicotine is an appetite suppressant, well if you didn’t know already – it is! It helps ou lose weight. Scientists believe that nicotine stimulates part of the brain that controls appetite, so when nicotine is ingested you eat less, fact! Nicotine decreases appetite by activating the POMC neurons in the brain.

With scientific proof that nicotine helps keep the pounds off it is no wonder that millions of tobacco smokers smoke to lose weight and stay thin. The only, rather large drawback, is that tobacco smoke is harmful in many other ways and contains lots of nasty carcinogens. Smoking tobacco is bad for your health everyone knows that. Anti tobacco smoking advertising campaigns have been running for years and the health impact of cigarette smoke is common knowledge.

Loosing weight with e-cigs

Electronic smoking is proving to be substantially less harmful to your health, compared to tobacco. So why aren’t more people using it as an aid to lose weight? E-juice – the stuff you vaporize that contains the nicotine when electronically smoking – comes in a wide range of flavors and generally tastes quite nice.

In contrast, tobacco smoke tastes bad and makes you and your breath stink! Not to mention the lingering stench left behind on your clothes. This smell can stink out your car or a whole house and is very difficult to get rid of. This doesn’t happen when smoking an e-cig, the vapor or aerosol that is inhaled and exhaled is almost odorless. The range of fruity flavors and menthol blends in fact smell quite pleasant, especially compared to tobacco smoke.

If we are to believe that e-smoking has very little effect on our health, why are more people not using e-cigs to lose weight? Why are people still smoking tobacco?

Quitting tobacco with e-cigs

Quitting tobacco with e-cigs is easy! I stopped smoking tobacco the day I got my first e-cig kit and I feel great! My fitness has improved with exercise and my skin complexion has recovered from a dull grayish tone, attributed to tobacco smoke.

With a little will power and the e-cig almost constantly glued to my lip I quit smoking tobacco but a side effect that I noticed was, that I found it almost impossible to gain weight. My appetite was the same as when I smoked tobacco but if anything I’ve lost a few more pounds since smoking e-cigs.

More nicotine e-cigs weight loss?

Something I have noticed and it’s quite obvious is the amount that I smoke has increased dramatically. The e-cig is always there ready to suck on, the slightest nicotine craving and I am there puffing away. Sometimes I even use the menthol flavored liquid to freshen my breath without any desire for nicotine. So all this extra nicotine I am consuming is effecting my weight and seeing me lose the pounds.

I am slightly worried though as an adult man I don’t particularly want to be skinny but my nicotine addiction is causing me to be. I really don’t think that I have the will power to stop smoking all together and this bothers me. Well, what if you are over weight could electronic smoking be the answer to helping you lose the pounds in an easy safe way?

Lose weight with e-cigs?

If you are over weight and a smoker (for god’s sake don’t take up the habit if you are over weight and a non-smoker, nicotine is highly addictive) quit the tobacco smokes! Start vaping, probably like me you will find it very hard to put the e-cig down. This will mean the amount of nicotine you consume will continue suppressing your appetite and help you lose weight.

Couple this with a decent fitness regime and a healthy, balanced diet, you will see the pounds fall off. Electronic smoking will help you lose weight. The nicotine reduces your appetite- This much we know but the long-term health impact of e-smoking is unknown. Early research suggests e-smoking is safe compared to tobacco smoking. Figures put out there say 95% healthier. Although more intensive long-term research needs to be carried out to prove its safety.

Obviously any information in this post is my own opinion, although there is scientific evidence to back it up. Nicotine suppresses your appetite, fact! If you eat less you should lose weight-common sense. We are told that vaping has little effect on ones health- multiple sources! Vaping should help you lose weight, it’s less harmful than taking illegal drugs such as speed or vomiting after food.
