Tobacco as a Dieting Tool
Nicotine suppresses appetite and enhances metabolism, and smokers weigh an average of 10 pounds less than their nonsmoking peers. Cigarettes thus represent a tool for weight management in a culture where a preference for slimness - in some cases excessive slimness - conflicts with changes in nutrition and activity level that tend to promote weight increase.
