Is it true that smoking affect the ratio of people eating? thanks
Jul 18, 2014

Dr. Rania Mousa General Medicine
if you mean asking if smoking affects eating in people ,then the answer will be yes .
smokers eat less food and eat less frequently than nonsmokers because nicotine acts as an appetite suppressant
Nicotine increases adrenaline, dopamine and serotonin in the brain, which makes people feel hungry less often and feel full faster when they do eat.
So for this reason ,people who quit smoking almost gain weight after stopping .
