| "Smoking tobacco...can make people thinner by raising metabolism and deadening |
| the senses of taste and smell and, hence, the urge to eat." |

| Smoking appears to augment satiety from food, but does not change the metabolic |
| rate. After quitting, intake increases by 400 calories per day on average. Dieting and |
| rigid weight control efforts increase the risk for relapse, and are not recommended |
| during the initial cessation phase. Nicotine replacement therapy may delay, but does |
| not eliminate, this weight gain. |
