Does Smoking Decrease Appetite?

Yes. Smoking does decrease appetite. Studies prove that smoking does have an impact on appetite and weight. Weight loss occurs due to exposure to smoke. Smoking has a negative influence on energy balance of the body. This was evident through research conducted on mice.

Researchers from Melbourne University (Nov. 2004) experimented on mice. They found that those mice exposed to smoke had less appetite. This was due to negative energy balance and more use of fat reserves. Some physical changes were also observed. The liver of those mice exposed to smoke was lighter as compared to controlled mice.

Many smokers do not give up smoking as they feel they may put on weight. They may use smoking to maintain their body weight, according to lead researcher, Associate Professor Morris.
