Diet Smoking

No this isn't about some new cigarette that is diet or to help you lose weight. I wanted to discuss the how smoking and weight gain go together.

I have noticed that ever since a lot of people have become obsessed with quitting smoking, which in most cases is a healthy idea, people have gained weight. I would love to be able to quit. They say it on the news and on the radio that America has a weight issue. I believe it all started to get out of hand when people started to quit smoking. When you try to quit, you look for something for your hands to do, or you become really tired. I don't care what anyone says, you feel like crap while your system tries to figure out what you are doing. It has to work in a different way just like when you started.

In the end I guess it is better, you save money. However, people gain weight like crazy when they quit smoking. You start to eat more to keep from wanting to smoke.

The thing about smoking I hate to hear all the time is that every problem that someone has is caused from smoking or second hand smoke. Is this something new? I mean I know that it is not a healthy choice, but how long have people been doing this? I try to respect those around me and remove myself if my smoking bothers them. I am healthy, and can out work those who don't smoke. People who oppose smoking should look around and realize that cigarette smoke is not the worst thing that you breathe in.

So, does smoking keep you thin? Well, I would like to think so. I think most people smoke because it relaxes them, and eat less. Otherwise, you let all the stress really get to you and eat all the time or eat whatever food is around without thinking about if is good for you. Of course it could just be that America has become obsessed with the convenience factor, that everything has to be ready to go.
