“Some studies have found that smokers weigh less than non-smokers, so some people mistakenly believe that ‘smokers weigh less’ means ‘smoking can help you lose weight’. Even if you think you can lose weight by smoking, it’s not advisable to consider the huge health risks that smoking poses.
Weight gain after quitting is a problem for many smokers. The average weight gain over a period of time for people who have gained weight as a result of quitting smoking is only 2 to 5 kg. By adjusting the diet and exercising scientifically, it is possible to prevent weight gain or return to the original weight as soon as possible. In addition, some smoking cessation medications are also available to reduce weight gain after quitting smoking.
“Smoking to lose weight” is a dangerous choice. For beauty seekers, especially women, it is important to recognise the damage smoking can do to the skin, increasing wrinkles, accelerating ageing and damaging your image, not to mention the risk of various smoking-related diseases (cancer, coronary heart disease, stroke, slow onset lung, etc.). It is important not to lose sight of this and lose out on the big picture.”
