A recent study published by researchers in Italy has found that people who quit smoking by switching to vaping are less likely to gain weight. This is the first study to describe long-term changes in body weight related to electronic cigarettes.
Nicotine is known to suppress the appetite and increase the metabolism. Thus, weight gain is common among those who quit smoking. However, by switching to ecigs and gradually reducing nicotine levels, smokers who quit smoking cigarettes were able to limit and even avoid weight gain.
Scientists believe the weight stability is a result of the similarity between the traditional and e-cigarette experience from a physical, visual, sensorial, and behavioral perspective. By replacing the oral satisfaction of smoking with vaping e-cigs, the user replaces the sense of emptiness and hunger typically caused by cigarette withdrawal which often leads to compulsive eating.
