Smoking And Weight Loss – Helpful Or Harmful?
Is smoking good or bad for you? Almost all people will agree that smoking is very bad for you, because it is very bad indeed! But even certain ‘bad’ things have their advantages, and smoking is no exception in this regard. I know you will find it hard to believe, but if you are overweight, then smoking can help you a lot! Hallelujah!!!! Smoking can help you lose weight by speeding up your body’s metabolism. Here I’ll explore the relationship between smoking and weight loss.
Even though smoking can help you lose weight, you shouldn’t ever smoke because it’ll do more harm than good to you. Cigarettes have many harmful substances, including one called Nicotine which fills up your lungs with dangerous substances like poisons and tar. Smoking will choke a person’s lungs so much that he finds it hard to breathe properly. If not stopped in time, smoking can even cause lung cancer.
As you can see, the disadvantages of smoking outweighs its advantages big time, so for this reason you should definitely not even think of smoking as an available weight loss option! Remember, there are way better, and healthy ways to lose that extra weight, such as dieting and exercise. Smoking may give you some temporary benefits but that destruction that it causes to your body and health in the long run won’t make it worth all that health trouble. Do you want cancer??
Some people just don’t want to quit smoking, not because they are addicted, but because they are worried that if they ever stop smoking, they’ll gain a lot of weight. Well, nothing can be further from the truth! Most people don’t gain weight after they quit smoking, so you shouldn’t worry about that.
Plus, you won’t gain weight until a few months after you have stopped smoking and that too, requires that you follow an unhealthy lifestyle, like eating junk and fatty foods and sitting on the couch day in and day out, watching your favorite TV programs. Now if you do proper exercises such as cardio, weight lifting, aerobics, and resistance training, and follow a healthy diet plan containing raw vegetables and fruits, you shouldn’t even have to worry about gaining extra weight, even if you do the right choice and quit smoking! If you’ve been smoking to lose weight, I hope this article will encourage you to stop smoking and focus on much healthier weight loss options that won’t harm your body at the same time. Remember that smoking will not only damage your health beyond repair, but can even be fatal for you! Now, throw away those suicide sticks.
