Will smoking reduce weight???

This is my personal observation. I have seen many people smoking in the pretext of losing weight. What I have observed was, they only get fatter and those who are already thin become thinner. Ultimately both ways shorten live.

People usually pick the habit of smoking at the age of 15-25 when they are at youthful stage. The stage when they know how to make themselves look good in front of others, especially to the opposite sex. That is the stage they pick most of the habits in life, whether it is good or bad. Smoking and drinking are the two bad habits they pick up instantly at this stage. By the time they realize, they will have become addicted already. Then it will be the hardest thing to leave it. Here I want to share my personal opinion on the smoking habit. 

Why they pick up this habit? The main reason is to make themselves attractive in front of others. They are being misguided by peers, movie stars and movies that they look smart holding a cigarette in one hand and puff smoke in the air. And the other reason for smoking especially with girls is the fault mindset that the smoking will reduce their weight and make them more attractive with slim figure. With that intention and dream of becoming a queen for someone dashing, they pick up this habit of smoking. Either through friends or try themselves without the knowledge of others as they overheard someone say that smoking works. The thing is, as far as I know, it only affects us.

Here are some of the reasons why I feel smoking does not help in reducing weight:

At first what we exhale? We exhale carbon dioxide, why do we exhale, because it is a waste and our body (Blood) can’t resist its high concentration in our body. That is why; it is exhaled every now and then. When we smoke, the whole poisonous gas goes in directly into our lungs. While we breathe oxygen from air, it is being filtered by the hairs present in our nostrils. The smokes from a cigarette directly reach lungs. These smokes contain poisonous gases like carbon monoxide which the vehicle emits. The effect of this gas to a silencer pipes in cars is so intense. This same effect will be caused to our tender tissues in our lungs. Ultimately it will lead to lung failure (Cancer).

I will also explain the reason why smokers feel like smoking reduces weight. I have discussed earlier that we breathe out carbon dioxide because our body can’t resist it. When we smoke, it increases the amount of waste gas in our blood as a result our body tries to remove these harmful gases as fast as it could through exhalation. As a result the blood circulation increase which increases the heart rate. Therefore more energy is required. This energy is derived from metabolism and thus more amounts of foods (if no fats) are digested, hence the smokers feel their weights are beings reduced. But let me tell, one dangerous thing about smoking is smoking right after food. When foods are bring digested, it will be sent to different organs of the body and along with it, it will also carry the waste smoke from the blood. When people smoke every day, the whole blood will be filled with tinge of smoke and that is why we can even smell smoke from those who are chain smokers. Just give another thought, what if our body does not have enough energy already?  

When more energy are being utilized from our body for the elimination of harmful gases, the more lethargic our body becomes. As a result we tend to eat more and more. If we eat more and do not go for exercise, (one thing if we smoke, we can’t do exercise, just check it out) we tend to gain more weight. Then there comes a situation, more you smoke, more you eat and that is how fat becomes fatter. If you are thin already, controlling your diet and you tend to smoke. Your body does not have enough energy already. When you feel like eating, you can’t eat because you are habituated with controlled diet so you don’t want to eat food. Just eating junk foods will suffice your urge to eat food. But this food will not be able to provide the enough energy your body wants. As a result, all the energy will be drained from your body and you will become skinny and all your skin will become flaccid. Then you will be prone to many kinds of diseases. That is how thin becomes thinner.

So those who believe that smoking help to reduce weight, it is a wrong concept and you are going towards wrong direction. It takes our energy and affects all our tender tissues. You smoke and you do not go for exercise, you can’t become thin. The most effective way to reduce weight is exercise and diet control. Do not gorge yourself and do not fast. Take right amount at right time. Do regular exercise. This will not only reduce your weight but can also make you slimmer and sexy. Do not try to reach the goal overnight. Success requires hard work and nothing like miracle thing will happen in life overnight. So quit now if you are smoker and do not smoke if you are non-smoker.
